Programmable Encoders: The Next Generation
Posted by Motion Control Tips Editor on Thursday, August 20, 2015
by Jarrod Orszulak, Product Manager, POSITAL-FRABA

The latest programmable encoders offer both incremental and absolute functionality on one hardware platform and can be programmed with a WiFi connection.
Programmable incremental encoders have become more common recently. This is largely due to the fact that the measurement characteristics of the device (number of pulses per rotation, output level and so on) can be modified through a software update without requiring any changes to physical components. Now, however, engineers at POSITAL have taken the programmability concept to a new level with the new generation of iXarC rotary encoders. These new encoders offer both incremental and absolute encoder functions on a single hardware platform; are available in a range of mechanical configurations and connector types; are supported by a range of configuration management tools that can be accessed by end users over the full working life of the encoder; and can be programmed by any WiFi-enabled electronic device.
