Encoders are widely used to help control machine position and speed. Typical encoder output, a series of quadrature signals, consists of two full square waves, offset by 90° in phase. The number of ...

AEDR-872x encoder is an optical encoder with two channel for differential analog and a third channel for digital index output. This application note discusses the features, benefits, and proper ...

Leine and Linde now offers a newly revised signal splitter, allowing outputs from a single encoder to be sent to two separate control systems. This DIN Mounted Interface converter (DMI) provides this ...

To attain accurate positioning, a servo system requires a feedback signal to close its feedback loop. Instruments that typically supply the feedback signal include optical encoders, resolvers, and ...

Incremental-rotation or linear encoders are very common, but normally they do not provide a direction signal. This design shows an easy way to detect forward or reverse direction. Incremental encoders ...

The iC-NQ is a high-resolution Sine-to-Digital converter with a signal-conditioning front end to evaluate analog sine/cosine sensor signals, which are, for example, supplied by optical or magnetic ...

Direct drives place rigorous demands on position-signal quality. Optimum measuring signals increase the quality of the machined workpiece surface, reduce vibration in the machine frame, stop excessive ...

In an effort to increase encoder compatibility with Siemens controls, Heidenhain has developed the EIB 2391S interface box. Ideal for applications with Sinamics drive components, the EIB 2391S ...

Alfatron Electronics, the Raleigh, N.C.-based, manufacturer, has introduced the ALF-IPK1HE 4K Networked Encoder and ALF-IPK1HD 4K Networked Decoder, designed for distributing high-quality AV signals ...
