Special hardware can overcome software latency that may otherwise negate precise motion control. Precision motion control is virtually never an end in itself. Rather, it ties position to other events ...

How to substantially reduce encoder cost while gaining functionality with 44-Turn multi-turn rotary position sensors—retaining count and position during power loss.

Faster and more robust, with black channel support for functional safety HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION announces EnDat 3, a new version of its popular absolute position encoder interface. The new EnDat 3 ...

Quadrature encoders have many uses in position-sensing applications. This implementation uses a Xilinx complex programmable logic device (CPLD) to count the pulses from the encoder and determine the ...

Verasonics, Inc., the leader in research ultrasound, today announced the release of a significant update for its Vantage NXT Research Ultrasound platform. The release introduces advanced hardware ...

Besides having standard data channels, the RCM and RCH series of incremental rotary encoders are able to develop output signals for commutation of brushless motors. The optically derived commutation ...

This application report offers a solution for obtaining high-resolution position with sin/cos encoders using the Texas Instrument (TI) TMS320F240 digital signal processor (DSP) controller. This is ...

C&K has launched an optical rotary encoder, the ENC Series 24-Position Optical Encoder with integrated pushbutton. The ENC Series encoder was developed as an improvement on the company's 16 Position ...

POSITAL’s measuring wheel accessories for its IXARC family of rotary encoders enables these devices to make accurate linear motions and position measurements. “Encoders are great for measuring ...

Here is a motor speed sensor module, the major goal is to check the rate of an electric motor. The module can be used in association with a microcontroller for motor speed detection, pulse count, ...
