ABSOLUTE VS INCREMENTAL ROTARY ENCODERS
Incremental or Absolute?
Positioning tasks require precise position values to monitor or control motion activity. In many applications position sensing is done using rotary encoders, also called shaft encoders or simply encoders. These sensors transform a mechanical angular position of a shaft or axle into an electronic signal that can be processed by a control system.
Absolute Rotary Encoders:
Absolute rotary encoders are...
