Some info: carton packaging machines, speed up to 150RPM or 2.5 per sec.(linear speed 0.5m/s ) , scan time around 20ms.
So far I’ve been using PLS systems such as Electrocam for positioning, but lately started to look for cheaper options on some slower machines.
So idea of absolute encoders with grey code output came along and after some reading I still have few questions which somebody here might help:
I was looking at AB 845G series encoders (I like the remote set zero pin)
Thanks

- Are encoder outputs connected on regular PLC inputs (not high speed inputs)?
- Any suggestion at encoder pulses/resolution considering the speed and scan times
