Depending on the application, an encoder can be used for different purposes. Medical applications
often require an additional and independent monitoring to detect hard or soft failure. Upon failure,
the machine can be stopped and restarted manually. Less critical applications may use the encoder to
detect failure, stop the motors upon step loss and restart automatically. A different use of the encoder
allows increased positioning precision by positioning directly to encoder positions. The application
can modify target positions based on the deviation, or even regularly update the actual position with
the encoder position. To realize a directly encoder based commutation, TRINAMIC offers the new
motion controller TMC4361.
