Description

  • Typical circuit for producing direction (up/down) and magnitude (count) signals, a system¿s counter can be incremented ¿up¿ or ¿down¿ depending on the direction of the encoder¿s shaft rotation.With the capacity to control direction of adjustment as well as magnitude, the incremental encoder can be used in almost any control or position sensing application
