Encoder cable signal transmission can be degraded by many factors including, long transmission runs, high cable capacitance and extreme EMI.
Shielding is important. At minimum, the cable should be protected either by a foil jacket with a drain wire or by a braided-wire shield that is grounded. For very sensitive applications or high-EMI environments, foil jacketed wires in combination with an overall braided-wire shield around the cable should be used.
An encoder is classified into four types: mechanical, optical, magnetic, and electromagnetic induction types. There are four types of information necessary to rotate the motor with high accuracy: rotation amount, rotational speed, rotational direction, and rotational position.
