Control to terminate power at an Encoder step??
Control to terminate power at an Encoder step??
(OP)
All,
I am sorry, but I am a bit electronics challenged. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction on this??
What I was trying to accomplish was this.. I wanted to have a unit that by reading a rotary encoders steps, would stop an electric pump when it had reached a predetermined step, or degree.
So the control unit would have the ability to have a degree entered, like 45°, or if one step was a degree, 45. So when the encoder reached that step it would power off an electric pump.
Would anyone have any ideas or examples of how I could accomplish this? I was hoping to get info on some purchase control that would allow me to do this.
Thank You

It also depends on what the application is. If speed, torque, time, or any other variable is importatnt to the process, a vector drive could be used.

I am thinking primarily of a pipe bender. If I had a rebar bender I may use the encoder, hidden inside the machine out of harms way.
