Direct drives place rigorous demands on position-signal quality. Optimum measuring signals increase the quality of the machined workpiece surface, reduce vibration in the machine frame, stop excessive ...

Encoders are fantastically useful devices for human-machine interfacing. The issue for the makers, teachers, students, and engineers trying to use them is that many have less-than-ideal output signals ...

High-speed optical isolators solve various interface problems between an incremental encoder signal and a PLC, servo drive, or other input devices. Related To: AutomationDirect High-speed optical ...

The RS-485 standard defines a popular and widely used serial data interface and network that’s been in use for over 30 years. It’s found in factories, process control plants, building automation, and ...

1. This optimised analogue-conditioning circuit can avoid signal distortion caused by nonlinearities, and guarantee an optimum interface between the encoder and ADC. 2. shown is a normalised RC filter ...

Compressed video has enabled businesses that were only dreams at one time. Beginning with intensive research over 20 years ago, compression products have become vital to much of what we do today. It ...

Analog transmission is not particularly efficient. When the signal-to-noise ratio of an analog signal deteriorates due to attenuation, amplifying the signal also amplifies noise. Digital signals are ...
