Hey guys,
I have been to trying understand the advantages of using absolute encoders over incremental ones & I am told that no homing process is required (when used for positioning) for absolute encoders on power resets, since they give absolute position.
This concept has not sunk in well, since the current position is always retained by the controller /CNCs etc & can start positioning post power resets irrespective of whether the feedback device is absolute or incremental.
Need a little help with this since I have to choose an encoder for a positioning application for my upcoming project.
Pls help!!
