Encoder Overview
The 843ES CIP Safety encoder is an absolute encoder. An absolute encoder has a
unique digital output for each shaft position. The use of absolute encoders
verifies that true position is always available, regardless of power interruptions to
the system. Absolute encoders can be single-turn or multi-turn.
Multi-turn units assign a unique digital output for each shaft position across
multiple shaft rotations and have high-resolution capability. Applications include
steel mills, overhead cranes, punch presses, transfer lines, oil rigs, wind mills,
machine tools, and packaging.
