Get multi-turn absolute feedback with CANopen in your application

What is an absolute encoder, and how is it used in industrial applications?

Absolute encoders provide discrete position information for a rotating shaft, while maintaining continual position and controlled motion. Absolute encoders provide feedback through either a single rotation (single turn) or over the course of multiple rotations (multi-turn).

Watch and find out how absolute encoders work, and when to use them.

Absolute encoders for increased accuracy and efficiency

Consider using absolute encoders for applications where noise, potential for loss of power, or long start-up cycles impact up-time. EPC’s absolute encoders also offer bus (CANopen and SSI), and industrial Ethernet (PROFINET and EtherCAT) communication protocols to meet your system’s needs.
