Why should I consider short circuit protection?！

Short circuit protection is an important feature in any encoder, especially in a multi-sectional drive control system where downtime can cost thousands of dollars per hour.

Short circuits can occur for a variety of reasons, including varying errors and cable faults. With certain types of line drivers, this can cause a complete failure of the encoder and necessitate removal and replacement. With a protected circuit, the encoder may not function if miswired, but it can be rewired and operated without replacing the encoder itself. Many Roundss encoders come with protection circuitry.
