#186348 - Incremental contrasts with Absolute Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Incremental is used as a tag because it contrasts with Absolute.
An absolute encoder knows where it is thru a power failure, an incremental encoder does not. You see your description of "rotary or linear encoders. ...2500 pulses/turn" is not sufficient information. I can have two rotary encoders, with 2500ppr - but one is Absolute, and the other is incremental (aka Quadrature optionally with index pulse) |
