Engineers using an incremental encoder for the first time often have a misunderstanding about what types of signals are provided by an encoder and how to interface an encoder to their application.

Successful designers will understand the key role played by receiver ICs, encoder signal cabling, terminations, and pc-board layout. Today's demanding industrial applications require rugged, reliable ...

The most common method for sharing data between devices is via a digital means of communications. Several standard buses implement such methods, with the main differences between them being data rate ...

Leine and Linde now offers a newly revised signal splitter, allowing outputs from a single encoder to be sent to two separate control systems. This DIN Mounted Interface converter (DMI) provides this ...

The MAX14891E quad fault-protected RS-485/RS-422 receiver is ideal for applications requiring high data rates and reduced noise in rugged environments. Each receiver features a wide common-mode input ...
