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. A new combined interface for Optocode absolute ...

Rotary encoders connect to a shaft and, as the shaft rotates, the encoder outputs pulses. These are used to determine the speed of the object. By counting the amount of pulses per one full turn of the ...

SCHAUMBURG, IL--(Marketwired - June 04, 2013) - To meet the demand in more motion control applications, HEIDENHAIN has once again expanded its rotary encoder product line with either EnDat or SSI ...

SCHAUMBURG, IL--(Marketwired - December 10, 2013) - As the demand for functionally safe equipment products grows, so does HEIDENHAIN's component product offerings. Now new to the market are HEIDENHAIN ...

The diagram above is for a 3 bit binary angle-measuring device. How would you redesign this encoder to avoid the possibility of unwanted states during state transitions. The diagram shown above has ...
