Motor rotation information such as position, speed and direction must be accurate to produce precise drivers and controllers across a wide variety of emerging applications; for example, in ...

Inductive sensors achieve fast response times. Changes in position or speed cause immediate alterations in the induced eddy currents, which directly affect the inductance of the sensor coil. This ...

Encoders are widely used in the motion control and automation industry to monitor the position and speed of motors. This information can be used by the motion control electronics to detect if the ...

An encoder provides a distance-based timing solution. It's an electro- mechanical device that converts motion into a stream of electrical pulses. By attaching a measuring wheel to the conveyor belt, ...

This Design Idea combines a simple ISA-bus-resident interface circuit; a garden-variety PC; a high-resolution optical shaft encoder; and a PWM-controlled, 0.05-hp, brushed, permanent-magnet dc motor ...

Encoders are widely used to help control machine position and speed. Typical encoder output, a series of quadrature signals, consists of two full square Encoders are widely used to help control ...

Inmoco’s new Mercury 3000Si Dual Axis Averager, from MicroE Systems, is suitable for rotary applications where the highest positional accuracy and (where necessary) high speed are essential. The ...

The Zynq all programmable System On a Chip is a recently introduced device from Xilinx which incorporates two ARM A9 CPU cores, I/O peripherals, memory controller, and programmable logic. This paper ...
