Hi all,
I am looking for the maximum number of write cycles to the eprom/eeprom/flash (?) of a Fraba/Posital absolute encoder. I have been digging through the specs of the encoder that I am using but I haven't seen anything obvious.
The reason I am looking is that I will take that limitation into account when designing the homing philosophy of the system I am designing. And homing basically means writing to the encoder and telling it what its current counts should be.
So if the number of allowed writes is absurdly large then I could safely home the encoder every time it passed over a known location.
However if the number is small (with respect to how long the equipment will be in use) then I need to be smarter with what I do.
