An incremental encoder is a type of encoder device that converts angular motion or position of a shaft into an analog or digital code to identify position or motion.
Incremental encoders are simple, cost-effective, easy to interface, and well suited for measuring speed and direction. They are widely used in motor control and applications where absolute position after power-up is not critical.
An incremental encoder outputs pulses as the shaft rotates and only indicates relative movement. After power loss, its position must be re-referenced. An absolute encoder provides a unique digital value for each shaft position, so the exact position is known immediately at power-up.
