ABSTRACT:
An encoder that can detect the presence of noise occurring within the encoder. The encoder is constructed by incorporating within the same apparatus: a movement detecting unit for detecting the movement of a moving body; a signal processing circuit for processing a movement detection signal supplied from the movement detecting unit, and thereby producing an encoder signal representing the position and/or the amount of displacement of the moving body; and a noise detecting unit for detecting noise superimposed on the movement detection signal. According to this encoder, a noise voltage generated within the encoder via a stray capacitance is detected within the encoder and is output as noise data, so that the noise level can be detected without requiring the use of an external measuring device. Further, by outputting encoder data and noise data occurring at the same instant in time, the reliability of the encoder data can be judged based on the condition of the noise level.
