A rotary encoder is a type of position sensor which is used for determining the angular position of a rotating shaft. It generates an electrical signal, either analog or digital, according to the rotational movement.
Orange 600 PPR Incremental Optical Rotary Encoder is hi-resolution optical encoder with quadrature outputs for increment counting. It will give 2400 transitions per rotation between outputs A and B. A quadrature decoder is required to convert the pulses to an up count. The Encoder is build to Industrial grade.
The Encoder comes with Standard 1.5 m cable length which can be extended with extra cable if needed.
Note:
- Consider Adding Pull up resistor to both A and B phase of the encoder output to avoid the effect of interference in output and get the precise logical output value from encoder
- Also adding pull up resistor to all phase output line protects the open collector output-triode from damage due to direct Vcc supply short circuit.
Power and Input Terminal Assignments:
| Terminal Name | Wire Color | Description |
| Phase A | White | Quadrature encoded output A |
| Phase B | Green | Quadrature encoded output B |
| VCC | Red | VCC should be connected to +ve 5V of supply |
| GND | Black | Ground should be connected to negative of supply |
| Shield | Golden | Shield should be connected to GND |
Shielding is important. At minimum, the cable should be protected either by a foil jacket with a drain wire or by a braided-wire shield that is grounded. For very sensitive applications or high-EMI environments, foil jacketed wires in combination with an overall braided-wire shield around the cable should be used to avoid the interference and precise encoder output.
