Definition of "incremental encoder" |
Incremental encoder are position feedback devices that provide incremental counts. Thus, an incremental encoder provides relative position, where the feedback signal is always referenced to a start or home position. For incremental encoders, each mechanical position is uniquely defined. The current position sensed is only incremental when compared to the last position sensed. / similar to an absolute encoder, except there are several radial lines drawn around the disc, so that pulses of light are produced on the light detector as the disc rotates. Thus incremental information is obtained relative to the starting position. A larger number of lines allows higher resolution, with one light detector. A once per rev counter may be added with a second light detector. |
