What is a rotary encoder and what are its advantages
Rotary encoders are divided into two types: incremental encoders, absolute encoders, the models are EC08, EC11, EC12, EC16; incremental encoders are more common; absolute encoders are more expensive, and absolute encoders have Range range, so it is generally used on machine tools with special needs.
What are the common encoders on the market
An encoder is a device that compiles and converts a signal (such as a bit stream) or data into a signal form that can be used for communication, transmission, and storage. The encoder converts angular displacement or linear displacement into electrical signals. The former is called a code wheel and the latter is called a code ruler. Encoders can be divided into contact type and non-contact type according to the reading mode; encoders can be divided into two types: incremental and absolute according to the working principle.
Principle of absolute encoder
1. The principle of absolute encoder-introduction
The absolute value encoder outputs pulses when it rotates, and calculates its position through the counting device. When the encoder does not move or the power fails, it relies on the internal memory of the counting device to remember the position. In this way, when the power is off, the encoder can't have any movement. When the power is on, the encoder can't lose the pulse due to interference during the pulse output. Only the wrong production result can be known.
Working principle of photoelectric encoder
Guide: The main working principle of photoelectric encoder is photoelectric conversion, but it can be divided into incremental type, absolute type and hybrid incremental type according to the different principles. So how does photoelectric conversion work? What are the differences in the working principles of these three types of photoelectric encoders? Next, let's take a look together~
The role of the encoder
Introduction: Encoders are already well-known industrial equipment, but what are the specific functions of encoders I think there are still many novices in the industry that are still not familiar with, now let me introduce it to everyone!
Encoder principle
1. Encoder principle-introduction
Encoder is a device that compiles and converts signals or data into a form that can be used for communication, transmission and storage. Encoder is a device that converts angular displacement or linear displacement into electrical signals, and is a logic circuit with encoding function. The encoder has several inputs, and only one input signal is converted into a binary code at a certain time. If an encoder has N input terminals and n output terminals, the relationship between the output terminal and the input terminal should satisfy the relationship N≤2n.

Programming ideas for rotary encoder
When the rotary encoder is used for angle positioning or measurement, it usually has A, B, Z three-phase output. Phase A and Phase B output a square wave with a 50% duty cycle. Each time the encoder rotates, phase A and phase B output a fixed number of pulses.
