A real optical position-encoder used on a robot axis has a 10:1 gear ratio, an optical disc with 72 slits and an 10-bit binary counter.If the encoder has direction-indicating ability, its output is 8-bit signed-magnitude binary with the most significant bit being “0” for positive (disc rotating clockwise), and “1” for negative (disc rotating counter clockwise)
- What is the maximum allowable shaft movement to ensure that the counter never over-ranges?
- What is the magnitude and direction of measured shaft movement for a binary output 00110111?
