Feedback device types

• Encoder

  Quadrature encoders are nowadays the most common feedback device type in servo motors. Quadrature encoders are incremental sensors so they require position zeroing/homing to get absolute position feedback. Another type of encoder is absolute encoder. Absolute encoders typically output serial data of absolute position thus they …
