Signal input:
- The encoder thus sends information about the position it measures by using several digital signals. The signals tell something about its position in a form of code called gray code.
Conversion of Signal:
- These gray codes are received by the system and converted to standard numerical form, making it much easier to understand. After this, this information can be used later.
Position adjustment:
- When the gray code has been converted into a number, it is adjusted by the system to better fit the needs of the system, this is called scaling and adjusting.
Control system:
- The position value that has now been adjusted is used by the system to control machines or other components in a correct and accurate way. It is compared with the position a component already has, with the desired position, and can now adjust as needed to achieve the desired position.
Feedback and Action:
- The system takes measures to correct the position depending on the desired position and the actual position of a component. This means that the system can move a part in the desired direction to get to the correct position.
