Incremental encoders

Top  Previous  Next

Incremental encoders are linear or rotary encoders that are used to determine the movement of an object. The encoder will typically have two or three outputs, A, B and Z. A and B are used to report the position while Z is used for indexing the encoder, and is typically only active once for every full rotation.
