What is an encoder revolution? What is an encoder step?
The number of encoder turns and the number of steps are both parameters used to describe the measurement accuracy of an encoder, but they have some differences. The number of encoder turns usually refers to the range that can be measured by a multi-turn encoder, the encoder is divided into single-turn and multi-turn, for example, a single-turn encoder resolution is 4096, so the resolution of this single-turn encoder is 4096, because 2 times 12 equals to 4096, also known as 12-bit encoder. Another is a multi-turn encoder 4096 turns, here is the encoder range of 4096 turns, if his single-turn resolution is 4096, and the number of turns is 4096 turns, then its total range is 4096X4096. The encoder step is the amount of position change that occurs when the encoder outputs a pulse signal, usually expressed in the form of angular or linear displacement. For example, if an encoder outputs 1 pulse in a pulse cycle, and each pulse represents a 0.01 degree angle of rotation...
