Types of encoder that can be connected
Both rotary (shaft encoders, angle measurement systems) and linear (linear encoder, linear
measurement systems) measuring systems can be used. These can be built on the machine/
system (incremental encoder) or integrated in the motor (rotor shaft angle encoder).
Interfaces
