Incremental Encoder

Long Spa

Incremental Heavy Duty encoders provide information on speed and angular position. Their resolution is expressed as the number of pulses (square-wave signals) and the sinusoidal (Sin Cos) signals per revolution, which the rotary encoder transmits to the controller with each revolution of its shaft. Sin Cos signals can be interpolated in a controller or in a controller to increase the resolution.

The upstream control identifies the current speed by the pulse numbers counted within a defined time period, while the current position information is identified by the counted pulses or Sin Cos periods, respectively. At system power-on, a reference travel is required since the encoder information may have been lost during power off and further to eliminate any incorrect result caused by any shaft rotation performed during power-off.
