Vehicle engines generally measure crank position using a single-channel encoder. Traditionally it worked by sensing the starter ring-gear. The index is simply a missing (in practical terms, a little shorter) tooth. Many now use a magnetic code-wheel and a hall sensor. I have some, as it happens, and they are a very attractive form factor, being 125mm OD with a 100mm through-bore
It seems that this scheme could be useful in EMC2, especially for lathe-users who are short of pins, and the form factor is ideal for this too. I wonder how much work it would be to add this as a mode to the encoder module? -- atp The idea that there is no such thing as objective truth is, quite simply, wrong. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
