Modbus Encoder

[hashem]

I want to use encoder with Modbus RTU output (absolute or incremental), can anyone advise me companies that buy them.
Any suggestions?

Why do you think you need an encoder capable of communicating via Modbus RTU? It seems to me that Modbus RTU would be too slow to allow the encoder to to be part of any meaningful control scheme.

Thanks Steve,
They are just for monitoring, and the system is slow enough.

What is the encoder connected to? Many devices that use encoder feedback will have a serial communications option and Modbus RTU is probably the most common protocol. Even devices that normally use their own proprietary serial protocol may offer Modbus RTU as an option. It's almost everyone's "second language".
