Encoders

An encoder is a device used to measure the rotational speed or linear position of an object. It generates a sequence of numbers which correspond to the output of a shaft or linear position. Depending on the design, encoders can be used to provide absolute position or relative location information, typically via a first-in-first-out (FIFO) memory buffer, an output port or by strobing a parallel out signal. Encoders can be used in a variety of applications including industrial automation, robotics control, motion control, machining, and other applications.

EN11-VSB1AF15 Encoder

The EN11-VSB1AF15 encoder is a 1-channel incremental encoder with an absolute output. It features an incremental A/B output, plus an opto-coupled output that provides absolute position information.

It can be used in a variety of applications, including motion control, robotics, industrial automation, medical measurement and control, and other applications that require reliable position and speed information. Furthermore, the EN11-VSB1AF15 encoder is an excellent solution for applications that require absolute and incremental feedback, as it provides both these features. This makes it suitable for usage in a large variety of applications, such as automotive, marine and agriculture.

Working Principle

The EN11-VSB1AF15 encoder works on the principle of incremental optical encoding. The encoder’s disk contains a series of slots and pads, which are positioned on the tracks. The encoder’s head has two sets of optics – a set of reflective optics and a set of transmitting optics. The encoder’s transmitting optics transmit light towards the disk’s slots and pads. The light is then reflected off the disk onto the encoder’s reflective optics, which detect the state of the disk’s slots and pads. The encoder’s processor then interprets the state of the disk’s slots and pads, and generates a digital output corresponding to the position of the encoder. The EN11-VSB1AF15 encoder supports both incremental and absolute output, meaning it can provide both an absolute measure of position as well as the relative change in position over time.

Conclusion

The EN11-VSB1AF15 encoder is an ideal solution for high-precision applications that require resolution and accuracy over extended periods of time. It utilizes a 12-bit resolution and provides 1024 counts per revolution (CPRs). Additionally, it can provide both incremental and absolute position feedback. These features make it an excellent solution for applications across a variety of industries including automotive, marine and agriculture.
