Abstract:
An encoder system includes an encoder for outputting positional data and magnetic pole data of an output axis of a motor; and a controller for communicating with the encoder. The encoder includes a positional data generation circuit; a magnetic pole data generation circuit; a first data abnormality detection circuit for detecting an abnormality based on the positional data and the magnetic pole data, and outputting a first alarm signal; and a parallel-to-serial conversion circuit for outputting the positional data, the magnetic pole data, and the first alarm signal to the controller. The controller includes a second data abnormality detection circuit for detecting an abnormality based on the positional data and the magnetic pole data, and outputting a second alarm signal; and a communication abnormality detector for detecting an abnormality in a communication path based on the first and second alarm signals.

Claim (Index 1):
An encoder system comprising:\n an encoder configured to output positional data and magnetic pole data of an output axis of a motor; and a controller wiredly or wirelessly communicating with the encoder, configured to receive the positional data and the magnetic pole data outputted from the encoder, wherein the encoder includes:\n a positional data generation circuit configured to measure an angle of the output axis of the motor, and generating the positional data from the measured angle; \n a magnetic pole data generation circuit configured to generate the magnetic pole data representing the position of a rotor of the motor; \n a first data abnormality detection circuit configured to detect the presence or absence of an abnormality based on the positional data and the magnetic pole data, and output a first alarm signal indicating whether or not an abnormality has occurred; and \n a parallel-to-serial conversion circuit configured to apply parallel-to-serial conversion to the positional data, the magnetic pole data, and the first alarm signal, and output serial data to the controller, and \n the controller includes:\n a second data abnormality detection circuit configured to detect the presence or absence of an abnormality based on the positional data and the magnetic pole data received from the encoder, and output a second alarm signal indicating whether or not an abnormality has occurred; and \n a communication abnormality detector configured to detect the presence or absence of an abnormality in a communication path between the encoder and the controller, based on the first alarm signal and the second alarm signal.
