What is Singleturn and multiturn ！

There are two versions of absolute encoders. Singleturn encoders divide a mechanical revolution into a certain number of measuring steps. The measuring values are repeated after one complete revolution. The maximum resolution of the singleturn encoder is 8192. Multiturn encoders, however, do not only detect absolute angular positions but also count revolutions (up to 4096). The signals are output via an SSI interface or a bus system such as CAN or Profibus.
