Our encoders that have "Totem Pole" outputs are technically categorized as open collector NPN style outputs. Our encoders have a range of 5-30vdc, so you will see the output referred to as both. "Totem Pole" usually uses 5vdc, where as the "Push Pull" follows the input voltage. The big difference is the ability of the "Totem Pole" to handle sinking or sourcing less current than the "Push Pull." It is confusing because the other factor is the amount of voltage usually used to define the difference between the two. This process is called "Push Pull."Ī "Totem Pole" output is the same as a "Push Pull" output. When A is less than A not, then A is low. If A's light amount is greater than A not, then A is high. Looking at the A and A not channel, the optical sensor internal to the encoder is comparing the two. What are "Push Pull" and "Totem Pole" outputs? Why don't they have a differential output? The addition of other noise suppression devices may be required in high noise environments. The leads will act as antennas for any stray RF in the vicinity. The pigtail that connects to the control unit using the encoder should be as short as possible. All encoder wire should be shielded and carefully terminated. Always separate the channels from each other.
Be careful to separate motor and all power wires away from encoder wires. There are several ways to improve noise immunity.
How can I reduce the effect of noise when using encoders?

It signifies a full rotation of the encoder disk It is the absolute reference added to an incremental encoder. What is the Index pulse (strobe, Z, and I.)? A line on an encoder is the physical slit on the encoder's disc that allows an optical sensor to trigger from low to high. PPR, or pulses per revolution, is another term for "line count". A 250 ppr encoder will have 250 ppr for channel A and 250 ppr for channel B. So with this in mind 250 ppr encoder would yield 1000 individual states or edges. These four unique logic states are decoded to determine distance traveled and rotation direction.Ĥx counting usually refers to a counter which may be configured to recognize each quadrature state as a separate count. The quadrature state of channels A and B create four unique logic states. The rising edge to rising edge (referred as the Cycle) on channel A or B indicates that one set of bars or slits (on the internal encoder disk) have passed by the optical sensor. Quadrature is a description of the 90 degrees out of phase between channel A and B. What is quadrature and 4X (4 times) quadrature encoding? An example would be: A, A not, B, B not, and Z, Z not (also referred to I or I not.). Typical incremental encoders have either two or three channels. They can be obtained from both absolute and incremental encoders equally.Ī channel is an electrical output signal from an encoder. The similarities of both absolute and incremental encoders are form factor and the issues of count and directional information. When an absolute encoder is turned on, the position of an absolute encoder is known (this function resembles a resolver, although the principles of operation have no similarity.) When the incremental encoder is turned on, the position of an incremental encoder is not known since the output signals are not unique to any singular position.Ībsolute encoders have a unique value (voltage, binary count, etc) for each mechanical position. It is important to understand that each mechanical position is not uniquely defined. Incremental encoders have output signals that repeat over the full range of motion. There are a few subtle differences between absolute and incremental rotary encoders. What is the difference between an absolute and an incremental encoder? Both types sense mechanical motion and translates the information (velocity, position, acceleration) into useful electrical data.
The first architecture is linear (which ADC does not currently sell.) The second architecture is rotary. What is the basic definition of an encoder?Īn encoder comes in two architectures.
