ABSTRACT:
A circuit for an encoder apparatus of an incremental-type construction, including: a unit mechanically joined to a movable machine; a unit for outputting at least two signals having a phase shift and a periodic waveform in response to movement of the unit; a battery-type power supply; and an electric ciruit including a circuit for generating a timing pulse having predetermined frequency and pulse width, a circuit for detecting a change of the signals from the signal outputting circuit and for outputting a pulse signal in response to the change of signals, and a circuit for counting the pulse signal from the signal-change detecting circuit. The apparatus may be optical or magnetic in construction.
