Absolute Encoders
TRD-NA Series
An absolute encoder uses gray code to describe each position, so position data is not lost when power is cycled. When power is cycled using an incremental encoder, any positioning information is lost until “home” position is triggered.

Why use an absolute encoder? When power is cycled when using an incremental encoder, any positioning information is lost until “home” position is triggered. An absolute encoder uses gray code to describe each position, so position data is not lost when power is cycled.
