LSI Computer Systems (LSI/CSI) has created a family of 63 tap (6bit) digital potentiometers for direct connection to quadrature decoders, push buttons, GPIOs or SPI serial controls. Debounce circuits ...
Reading quadrature encoder signals at high speeds (e.g., 1MHz, or, 1m/s with a resolution of 1µm) often requires dedicated hardware. This Design Idea shows a simple scheme to accomplish this function ...
Encoders are widely used in the motion control and automation industry to monitor the position and speed of motors. This information can be used by the motion control electronics to detect if the ...
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 ...
Designed for large drive and rotary-shaft applications requiring EMI immunity, the MR314 ZapFree fiber-optic rotary encoder provides a resolution of 1,024 ppr. The passive rotary encoder links to the ...
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 ...
