APPENDICES
INCREMENTAL ENCODER
A device that simply outputs ON/OFF pulses
by the rotation of the axis. 1-phase types
output only A pulses, and do not indicate the
axis rotation direction. 2-phase types output
both A and B pulse trains, and can judge the
rotation direction. The direction is judged to be
forward if the B pulse train turns ON when A is
ON, and judged to be reverse if A turns ON
when B is ON. There is also another type of
incremental encoder with a zero signal. The
most commonly used incremental encoders
output between 100 and 10,000 pulses per
axis rotation. Refer to "ENCODER".

INCREMENTAL SYSTEM
The current value is 0 in this system. Positions
are expressed by the designated direction and
distance of travel. Also called the relative
address system. This system is used in fixed-
feed, etc. Compare ABSOLUTE SYSTEM.

INERTIA
The property of an object, when not being
affected by external forces, where it tries to
maintain its current condition. The inertia
