Rotary encoder

The rotary encoder is a reusable 3D sensors component for machine detection and process measurement points. In this simulator it converts a physical condition into PLC-readable feedback.

Motion and state

Its rotary state can be driven from a PLC output so speed and direction remain visible during a scan.

PLC control pattern

Commission it by proving active feedback before accepting enable.

Fault practice

Inject stuck-on, stuck-off, misaligned states and require the PLC sequence to detect, stop and recover deliberately.

Fault and recovery exercise

Engineering boundary

The model teaches PLC sequence behaviour and diagnosis. Confirm ratings, wiring, guarding, process calculations and commissioning limits against the real manufacturer documentation and site design.
