Encoder Definitions
What is an encoder?
:
An encoder is a device which converts a mechanical information of a shaft or
position into an electrical signal

Encoder Definitions
How is this accomplished?
:
As the code disc rotates, it shutters light from the LED and is received and
transmitted as square\sine waveforms

Incremental Encoders
Incremental

Produces electrical pulses or increments
with linear or rotary motion

Signals can be square or sinusoidal waves

Signals start over at power up, or after a
power failure. In other words, an incremental
encoder does not retain position after a
power cycle

Incremental encoders are typically used for
speed or applications that do not require
absolute position

Absolute Encoders

Provides a unique value for every shaft or
linear position

Absolute encoders retain their position after
a power cycle

Signals typically use SSI, parallel, or field bus
interfaces (Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT, Profinet,
Devicenet, CANopen, Profibus, etc)

Absolute encoders are used in applications
were position information is necessary

Incremental Encoders
Output Channels
:
Incremental encoders
-
:
Resolution
-
:
produce electrical pulses or increments (usually as a
square wave) with linear or rotary motion of the encoder
The number of pulses or increments per channel, per
revolution. Also known as Pulses Per Revolution, or PPR
Quadrature:
-
-
The standard convention is to output two square wave
channels along with their complements
Channels A and B are offset by ¼ of a cycle – using all four
channels with this output, we can interpolate 4 positions
within one pulse cycle. This is known as “quadrature”
The 1/4th offset also allows us to see which direction the
encoder is turning based on what channel is leading. If
channel A goes high first followed by channel B, we can
determine the direction of rotation, and visa versa.

Incremental Encoders
Electrical Signals
:
Output Voltages
-
:
HTL (High Threshold Logic)
-
:
Also known as “push pull”
The output voltage will be the same as the supply
voltage (e.g if the supply on the encoder is 24V,
the output signal will also be ~24V)
TTL (Transistor Transistor Logic)
-
:
Standard output voltages are HTL, TTL or Open Collector.
These refer to the amplitude of the square waves
Also known as a “differential line driver” or “RS422”
The output voltage will always be 5V regardless of
the supply voltage on the encoder
Open Collector
-
Instead of outputting a signal of a specific voltage or
current, the output signal is applied to the base of an
internal NPN transistor whose collector is externalized

Network Encoders
:
What do we (or the customer) mean when we say “network
encoder”?
- A network is a collection of products (sensors, HMIs, processes, etc) that are
connected to a central controller or share information between parts.
- Also known as Field Bus
- Example: an Internet VPN (virtual
private network):

Field Bus Interfaces
:
Field Bus
-
:
Benefits
-
:
Industrial network system that connects multiple products in a manufacturing plant or on a
machine
Products are no longer point-to-point which allow multiple products to be connected to one
controller
Generally does not require as many cables as a point to point configuration, and cables do not
need to be as long. This saves on system costs.
Typically the controller has more flexibility for configuration and information gathering
Disadvantages
-
The network topologies are generally more complex
Individual components cost more than standalone products (potential system savings, however)
