2 Encoder ENCO 08 and ENCO 08-M
2.1 Preface
In addition to the traditional transmission of volume information by electrical
pulses, where the number of pulses is proportional to the volume at measuring
conditions flowing through the meter, digital transmission of meter readings is
getting more and more important.
With the transmitter unit ENCO 08 (integrated transmitter unit in totalizer F and G)
and ENCO 08-M (external transmitter unit in totalizers with mechanical output
drives), it is possible to transfer the meter reading digitally to a volume corrector.
This is an energy self-sufficient encoder, which operates as a magnetic "absolute
encoder" in continuous operation without any external power supply.
The encoder ENCO 08 is used for the custody transfer of mechanical totalizer
readings (Vo) and for compliance with the legal metrological requirements with
regard to the recording of measured values.
The counter reading and all other application-specific device values are stored in
the microcontroller and cannot be lost. The meter reading is output via the
NAMUR interface (EZD protocol).
ENCO 08 is parameterized by means of an operating software (e.g. "Set meter
reading"). This is done by RMG Messtechnik upon delivery, so the customer does
not have to carry out any further parameter adjustments on site during
commissioning (exception: ENCO 08-M).

2.3 Function
The ENCO 08 is coupled to the totalizer via a gear wheel. When the mechanical
counter rotates, the rotation is transferred to the encoder shaft in the ENCO 08.
Voltage pulses are induced in the Wiegand sensor module under the impact of the
now rotating magnetic field. These signals are evaluated in the electronic module
and converted into an electronic meter reading.
The energy required for displaying and permanent storing of the meter reading is
generated by the internal Wiegand sensors. Therefore, no external power supply
(battery) is required to record the meter reading. As soon as a converter is
connected, it also provides the necessary power supply for digital transmission
(EZD protocol) of the meter reading.
The hardware consists of Wiegand sensors with energy generation (Wiegand
sensor module), counting logic (ASIC and Hall sensor) and counter reading
archive (FRAM counter).
All application-specific parameters are stored in the EEPROM of the
microcontroller and cannot be lost.
