Overview of conventional encoder systems with respect to electrical interfaces
The different encoders deliver the following data:
Encoder system | Delivered data | ||
|---|---|---|---|
Rotor angle | Position | Speed | |
Single-turn absolute encoder | x | x | (x) |
Multi-turn absolute encoder | x | x | (x) |
Incremental encoder | (x) | (x) | (x) |
Resolver | x | (x) | (x) |
Tacho-generator | – | – | x |
x: Encoder system determines the data
(x): Encoder evaluation calculates the data from the encoder information
