Optical
|
|
Incremental angular counting is achieved by a light emitter and receiver; outputs can be sine-cosine waves or digitized square waves. Configurations include transmissive systems in which light passes though a transparent disk or is blocked by an opaque line, and reflective systems in which lines are segments of nonreflective space on a strip between reflective segments.
|
| |
Mechanical
|
|
Counting is achieved by disk engaging periodic spring-loaded detents or other mechanical switches.
|
| |
Fiber Optic
|
|
Fiber optic signal transmission is often combined with optical sensing. The transmission of position signals by light is advantageous in applications where high noise or EMI/RFI levels could interfere with electrically transmitted signals.
|
| |
Magnetic
|
|
Position measurement results from the sequence of magnetic switches being activated, or by the resolution of interaction between magnetic fields.

Intrinsically Safe
|
|
Intrinsically safe (IS) is an adjective for equipment and wiring which is incapable of releasing sufficient electrical or thermal energy under normal or abnormal conditions to cause ignition of a specific hazardous atmospheric mixture in its most flammable concentration. The IS terminations and wiring may be brought into any hazardous location of any group classification for which it is accepted without requiring explosion proof housing or other means of protection.

|
The output is an analog voltage such as 0-10V or ±5V.

Parallel
|
|
The output conforms to a standard parallel format such as general-purpose interface bus (GPIB).
|
| |
SSI
|
|
Serial synchronous interface (SSI) is a general standard for absolute encoders. The physical interface consists of two differential connections aside from power and ground. The controller provides a clock input, and the sensor returns a data signal synchronized to the clock.
|

Ethernet
|
|
Ethernet is a local area network (LAN) protocol that uses a bus or star typology and supports data transfer rates of 10 Mbps. The Ethernet specification is the basis for the IEEE 802.3 standard, which specifies the physical and lower software layers. To handle simultaneous demands, Ethernet uses carrier sense multiple access / collision detection (CSMA/CD) to monitor network traffic.
