In order to support I/O connectivity to a wider range of devices outside electrical cabinets, the company has released the new EP5101 EtherCAT Box. This IP 67-rated I/O module is for the direct ...

My previous blog Encoders Know All the Angles introduced encoders that provide information about rotary positions. A diagram illustrated the phase relationship of signals from an incremental encoder.

This application note demonstrates how to read data from the two-channel output of an incremental rotary encoder. Data from these two channels are based on the Gray Encoding System and can be used to ...

A new combined interface for Optocode absolute rotary encoders allows simultaneous communication of both absolute and incremental rotary position data. The interface provides cost-effective ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

Designated as the OPE1275 singlechannel (tachometer) and OPE2275 dual-channel encoders, these analog output encoders are designed for small-shaft motors with a shaft diameter of 2 mm (0.079 in.) and a ...

POSITAL’s new 22 mm multiturn kit encoders clear the way to exciting new possibilities for miniature motors and drives. While motion feedback devices for small motors have previously been limited to ...
