Until now, the choice of an absolute encoder meant an expensive, and larger sized product. Through the use of combinatorial mathematics, the absolute code pattern of the Bourns� Absolute Contacting Encoder (ACE�) is placed on a single track for a very economical, energy efficient and compact product. Bourns� ACE� provides an absolute digital output that will also retain its last position in the event of a power failure. An intelligent alternative to incremental encoders and potentiometers, the Bourns� ACE� is ideally suited for many industrial, automotive, medical and consumer product applications.
- Low cost panel or PCB mounting
- Absolute contacting encoder giving 8 bit parallel grey code output of each of 128 rotary positions
- May be interfaced directly with a microprocessor
- Removes the need for the pulse counting/direction discrimination software
- Technical support for output code truth table
