Encoders provide velocity, acceleration, direction, and position feedback to motion systems. Two basic types of feedback are absolute and incremental. Absolute encoders report unique position information at all locations and are unaffected by power loss. Incremental encoders also deliver position information, but count from a reference, which may require that a system be reset to a known start position after a loss of power.
