Content Summary

This document guides the selection of encoders compatible with MVS-8600 Camera Link PCI frame grabbers for Line Scan applications. It covers electrical characteristics, ensuring encoders meet voltage and signal requirements. It addresses various rotary and linear encoders, providing solutions for compatibility issues.

This document outlines the electrical characteristics of encoders that are best suited to and compatible with the MVS-8600 Camera Link PCI frame grabbers used in Line Scan applications. The MVS-8600 is capable of supporting many types of encoders, but not all meet the electrical voltage and signal requirements. There are many types of rotary and linear encoders available to the user with a wide variety of electrical characteristics. Use this document as a guide when selecting an encoder for your Line Scan application. This document also describes a possible solution when the selected encoder does not meet the MVS-8600's encoder input requirements.
