There are three basic configurations for optical encoders: incremental, absolute, and multiturn absolute encoders. Each delivers different performance characteristics, capabilities, and benefits.

A few different approaches can be taken to build multi-turn, absolute encoders. All usually start with a basic incremental or single-turn absolute encoder.

Avago Technologies announced a high-resolution absolute optical encoder for high-performance servo and motor feedback applications.

AutomationDirect has expanded its Koyo encoder product line to include additional incremental encoder output options and higher resolutions for absolute encoders.

Pseudo-absolute encoders, also known as incremental encoders with index, are basically incremental encoders with a third channel added, i.e., the index. “This gives them the ability to act like ...
