ABSOLUTE VS INCREMENTAL ROTARY ENCODERS Incremental or Absolute? Positioning tasks require precise position values to monitor or control motion activity. In many applications position sensing is done using rotary encoders, also called shaft encoders or simply encoders. These sensors transform a mechanical angular position of a shaft or axle into an electronic signal that can be processed by a control system. Absolute Rotary Encoders: Absolute rotary encoders are capable of providing unique position values from the moment they are switched on. This is accomplished by scanning the position of a coded element. All positions in these systems correspond to a

Euchner has expanded the field applications for CTP transponder-coded safety switches. Even safety guards requiring locking forces as high as 3,900 N can be reliably secured in combination with a new actuator. The new actuator is compatible with all existing CTP variants and can be used without design adaptations at any time. The unique transponder integrated into the actuator maximizes protection against tampering. CTP series safety switches offer the user the greatest possible versatility. The safety switch is available in various versions to suit the requirements at the place to be secured, e.g. versions for connection to the AS-Interface, for
