一般而言，編碼器是將資料從某種格式轉換成其他格式的裝置。

我們根據移動類型來分類編碼器，並分別成兩種類型：線性和旋轉。

您可以將增量式和絕對式編碼器的差別視為碼錶和時鐘的差別。

解析度為編碼器偵測到的最小移動。依編碼器類型不同，量測到的解析度也不一樣。

精度是指量測輸出值與其預期位置的距離所得的數據，

重複性是取自相同實際位置的不同量測值之間的最大落差。

請在此查詢技術編碼器詞彙的定義。

輸出、讀取類型和編碼器機身的選擇繁多，該如何找出最適合自己應用方式的理想感測器？

LinACE™ 是一款極堅固耐用的絕對式線性圓柱形編碼器系統，專為整合至伺服機構所設計，可做為轉換器使用，提供精確量測及出色的解析度和重複性。

SATI stands for Stand Alone Trimming Interface. This is a stand-alone device with calibration and zeroing functions which eliminate the need for a reference encoder and works with dedicated AM4096-based encoders. SATI interface improves the encoder accuracy to +/-0.2°.

For Nonius technology, the magnetic code carrier consists of two magnetic encoder tracks. The outer track consists of an even number of alternately magnetized poles and is used for high-precision position determination. It is therefore referred to as the master track. The second inner track has one fewer pair of poles than the outer track and is therefore referred to as the Nonius track. This track is used to calculate an absolute position within one revolution of the pole disk. This is done by calculating the angular difference between the two tracks. Encoders with this technology must be calibrated before use. An alternative option to Nonius technology that does not require calibration is AksIM technology.
