Encoder Interface Board for Incremental and Absolute Encoders

Encoder interface boards serve as the connection bridge between your encoder and control system. Our boards support both single-ended and differential signal configurations for incremental and absolute encoders, and are compatible with Gecko 320-series drives, Copley Controls, AMC, and other analog servo amplifiers, allowing straightforward integration into your existing motion control architecture.

Encoders are electromechanical devices typically mounted on servo motors or machine axes to track position. They connect to encoder interface boards, which process their output signals for use by CNC controllers, servo drives, and industrial automation systems requiring precise position feedback.

The interface boards support both incremental and absolute encoders with either single-ended or differential signal configurations, providing flexible signal input options for various encoder types commonly used in industrial applications.

The interface boards are compatible with Gecko 320-series drives, Copley Controls, AMC, and other analog servo amplifiers, providing seamless integration with leading industry brands.

Yes, the encoder interface boards offer native support for LinuxCNC software, including PPMC-to-servo amplifier interfacing. This ensures easy integration into open-source CNC and automation control systems without additional configuration overhead.

Our encoder interface boards are available in both single-axis and 4-axis configurations, allowing you to choose the appropriate solution based on your multi-axis motion control requirements.

The encoder interface boards include several safety features: they maintain position tracking during E-stop events, automatically shut down drives when faults are detected, provide up to 200 mA at 5V per encoder with built-in thermal and current protection, and use optocouplers to prevent ground loops — ensuring safe, reliable system operation in demanding industrial environments.
