Hello,

In this section, you can find counter devices used for reading and evaluating encoder signals and for calibrating them.

Our encoder reader devices can provide the necessary supply voltage for encoders to operate, working together with counters and tachometers. As can also be seen from the connection diagrams, each type of encoder may require different supply voltages. While some counters and tachometers may need 220V supply voltage, others may only work with 24V supply voltage. However, all of our devices supply power to the encoder's sensor supply output voltage accordingly. For example, the sensor supply output voltage is the same (12V DC) for a counter with a 220V supply voltage and a counter with a 24V supply voltage.

In addition, you can find other devices such as control devices, counters, and tachometers on our website. You can also use encoders with many other different devices, such as PLC and position control devices. Our website also provides connection diagrams, technical specifications, and installation instructions for encoders, as well as these types of products.

Encoders generate signals by reading divided lines on a rotating shaft or linearly moving part. These lines are detected by optical or magnetic sensors, and output as digital or analog signals. Incremental encoders produce pulse signals to measure the direction and distance of motion, while absolute encoders encode the position directly.

Encoder signals are usually read by specialized devices such as counters and tachometers. Counters calculate the movement distance by counting pulse signals from incremental encoders. Tachometers measure the speed of encoders by dividing the pulse count by the time interval. PLCs and other control devices can be used to control the motor speed and position by reading and processing encoder signals.

The signal output of encoders and the signal reading methods of devices can vary depending on the type of encoder and its intended use. However, in general, encoder signals are produced as digital or analog signals and are read by counters, tachometers, PLCs, and other control devices to control motor movement and position.
