How are Encoders Controlled?！

Encoders are controlled through the rotation the shaft it is mounted to. The shaft comes into contact with a hub which is in internal to the encoder. As the shaft rotates, it causes the disc, with both transparent and solid lines, to rotate across the circuitry of the encoder. The circuitry of the encoder contains an LED which is captured by a photoelectric diode and outputs pulses to the user. The speed at which the disc rotates will be dependent on the speed of the shaft the encoder is connected to. Anaheim Automation's optical and magnetic encoder lines are powered from a single +5VDC power source, and is able to sing and source 8mA each.
