LECTURE 3: Actuators, Encoders, Relays and Switches. Actuators: An actuator is the device that brings about the mechanical movements required for any physical process in the factory. Internally, actuators can be broken down into two separate modules: the signal amplifier and the transducer. The amplifier converts the low power control signal into a high power signal that is fed into the transducer, which actually converts the amplified control signal into the required form of energy. Figure 3.1.
Incremental Encoders. An encoder is an electrical mechanical device that converts linear or rotary displacement into digital or pulse signals. The most popular type of encoder is the optical encoder, which consists of a rotating disk, a light source, and a photo detector (light sensor).The disk, which is mounted on the rotating shaft, has patterns of opaque and transparent sectors coded into the disk (see Figure 1).he most popular type of encoder is the optical encoder, which consists of a rotating disk, a light source, and a photo detector (light sensor).
