CANOPEN ENCODERS

CAN (Controller Area Network) is the most widely used industrial communications protocol in the world, with more nodes in use than any other protocol. In fact, all modern cars use it. 

4-20MA ABSOLUTE ENCODERS

The 4-20mA analog output absolute encoder is one of easiest to understand.

HOW TO INSTALL A ROTARY ENCODER

When you install a rotary encoder the following important factors need to be ensured:

INCREMENTAL ENCODER SIGNAL CONVERTER, SPLITTER AND SWITCHER

The Motrona GV210 is a highly versatile pulse switch, distributor and splitter that can be used for various applications such as:
