Demystifying Linear Motor Integration
is selection of the linear encoder. The most common are incremental linear encoders with optical or magnetic read head sensors. Select an encoder with the required resolution and accuracy for the application, and one that is suitable for the machine environment. 1 2 Next. Want to use this article? Click

in a register, which the programmer can access within the application. The delay between the edge transition and the capturing of the encoder position is least when the system perceives a low-going TTL transition. A high-going TTL signal is longer, and optical isolation of the inputs delays the function even

Smart programming for smart cameras
is built into the imageacquisition API. Smart cameras are designed to perform many basic and advanced machine-vision functions including edge detection, geometric pattern matching, optical character recognition, and 2D bar-code reading. This means that instead of integrating individual sensors
