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 ...

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 ...

The sensing mechanism in an incremental optical rotary encoder consists primarily of a light source, code wheel, and optical detector. As the code wheel turns, a ring of alternating opaque and ...

An unexpected revisit to my earlier post on mouse encoder hacking sparked a timely opportunity to reexamine quadrature encoders, this time with a clearer lens and a more targeted focus on their signal ...

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 ...

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 ...

Position encoders are sensors that, when used in industrial settings, produce critical motor information such as speed and position. The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as ...

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 ...
