Rotary and linear optical encoders are common in position and motion sensing. Here, a disc or plate containing opaque and transparent segments passes between an LED and detector to interrupt a light ...

Rotary encoders provide critical information about a motor shaft’s position, rotational direction, velocity (rpm), and acceleration. They are vital components in motion-control feedback loops used in ...

All engineers know how to use their digital oscilloscope to automatically measure basic parameters such as peak-to-peak voltage, rise time, or frequency on waveforms with a few button presses. Some ...

For automation systems utilizing EtherNet/IP, new opportunities are now available for motion synchronization using Leine & Linde’s assortment of robust, high-performance encoders. EtherNet/IP is an ...

This application note describes the Quadrature Encoder peripheral on the Z32F128 device and provides two examples of peripheral usage. The quadrature encoder decodes the signals received from an ...
