Last year, Automation World examined the differences between accuracy, resolution, and precision in the encoder world. And while understanding the differences among these terms is important to ...

• The new mantra of position encoding is low-current drain. • Capacitive encoding is a way to realize low-power consumption without giving up resolution or accuracy, even at relatively low speeds.

• Capacitive sensing offers low operating currents, broad programmability, excellent temperature range tolerance, resistance to airborne contaminants, low cost, and extreme durability. • Commutation ...
