An encoder is one type of detecting device that is used to change motion into an electrical signal and this signal can be read with a control device within a motion control system like PLC. This encoder transmits a feedback signal to determine speed, position, direction, and count. There are different types of encoders available like optical, magnetism, linear, quadrature, magnetical, incremental rotary, rotary, encoder absolute, and incremental. So this article discusses one of the types of … [Read more...]
MOC7811 Encoder Sensor : Pin Configuration, Interfacing With Arduino, Code, Working & Its Applications
In the 1970s, the technology of the LED introduced different types of Opto-isolators to attain maximum data transfer rate, monitor interruptions, and perform sensing of non-contact objects. These are employed in robotics and automation applications to monitor the exact inclination and position in robotics. Among many optoisolators, the MOC7811 encoder sensor or a slotted coupler module is developed with top-mounted emitter and receiver sections in a molded housing to monitor the wheel's position … [Read more...]
What is Priority Encoder : Working & Its Applications
A combinational circuit like an encoder is used to perform the reverse process of the decoder. An encoder includes 2n inputs maximum and ‘n’ outputs. Therefore it encodes the data from 2n inputs into an n-bit code. It will generate a binary code that is equal to the input like active High. So, this circuit encodes 2n inputs through n-bits. Encoding is nothing but the process of changing the numbers or symbols to a coded format. A priority encoder includes a priority function that allows it to … [Read more...]
Different Types of Encoder and Decoder and Its Uses
In digital electronic projects, the encoder and decoder play an important role. It is used to convert the data from one form to another form. Generally, these are frequently used in the communication systems like telecommunication, networking, and transfer the data from one end to the other end. In the same way, it is also used in the digital domain for easy transmission of data, placed with the codes, and then transmitted. At the end of the receiver, the coded data are collected from the code … [Read more...]
