EncoderLAB02 & EncoderLABRelay01

The Encoder-LAB02 is a dual-purpose instrument for quadrature incremental encoders with square wave outputs..

Encoder splitters application

The existing encoder signal distributors (encoder splitters) from Motrona will be gradually phased out over the next 12 months or so.

Encoder Couplings for Encoder Applications

In this blog post we discuss the factors that you need to take into consideraton when selecting encoder couplings, and the types of couplings available.

Encoders for safety related motion control

In safety-critical applications, a motion control system must be able to trust the position feedback that it receives from encoders and other sensors.

Setting limits of analogue encoder

An encoder with an analog output provides a varying signal such as 0-10V or 4-20mA, which is representative of the position of the shaft.

Ethernet IP Encoders for High Speed Applications

POSITAL has updated the EtherNet/IP communications interface on their encoders to optimise data transfer, thereby reducing downtime due to transmission delays.

PCA Encoders offers a comprehensive range of encoders to buy online.

HOW TO ACHIEVE PRECISE MEASUREMENTS WITH POSITAL’S SPRING-LOADED PIVOT ARM

PCA Encoders stocks the widest range of encoder accessories in Australia to support our client’s applications installation.

FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER AND SYNCHRONISER

Motrona’s FM210 frequency multiplier gives you fast and stable frequency multiplication. 

Encoder Cable Length Limitations, Precautions & Solutions

The speed and position signals of rotary encoders often need to be transmitted over long distances that are questionable for reliability. 

IO Link Encoders

POSITAL has a range of absolute IO-Link encoders.  

PROFINET ENCODERS

PCA Encoders stocks the POSITAL OCD-EIB1B-1213-B15V-PRM PROFINET encoder.  

SAFETY RELAY FOR CRANE MONITORING

For more than 40 years, Motrona safety relays have been used globally by crane manufacturers to monitor various parameters with a security level of SIL3 / Ple. 

MODBUS RTU Encoders

POSITAL offer several new encoders that support the ongoing demand for MODBUS RTU. 

LOW-COST QUALITY ENCODERS

Rotary encoders are complex electro-mechanical devices that have intricate electronics and moving parts. 

ETHERNET IP ENCODERS

For many years the most commony used PLCs in Australia communicated via DeviceNet.

IP67 Rotary Encoders

Industrial applications usually involve challenging environmental conditions, which many sensitive measurement devices are not designed to handle

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:
