Optical encoders
The standard feedback in servo systems and in industrial automation today is the optical encoder. These sensors are accurate, cost-effective and they are available in many different mechanical versions.
Optical sensors are available with all commonly used interfaces:
- A, B, Z (AquadB)
- SSI
- BISS
- EnDat
- Hiperface
- CAN
- Profibus
- EtherCAT (in preparation)
We recommend the optical sensors of the following manufacturers (links to external sites):
