RotoLine incremental magnetic encoders
How It WorksIncremental magnetic encoders combine an internal magnetic sensor and an internal magnetic ring with a rotatable shaft.
|
As the shaft of the encoder turns, the sensor reads the magnetic poles embedded on the magnetic ring.
The encoder outputs a set number of A/B pulses1 between each pole. The pulses are received by a SIKO display or PLC, and the displayed position value is increased or decreased.2 1 The number of pulses between poles is called the interpolation rate 2 Increase or decrease depends on the direction of the rising A or B pulse |
