Battery count multiple revolutions (often also called pseudo-multi-revolutions), as shown in the figure below.
The encoder requires an external battery box containing batteries to power the encoder's count.
We are an industrial product, you know. Are you really sure that the battery power supply with so many connectors and contacts is stable and won't drop power due to poor contact?
Meanwhile, as shown in the image above, changes in ambient temperature will have a crucial impact on battery discharge life, especially at low temperatures. In such conditions, your robot won't freeze, but your encoder might catch a cold.
If the power supply fails and the robot cannot count the number of rotations, it will lose its position. Even if the customer is thousands of miles away, we will have to go there in person to reset it. The resulting loss of work for the customer, as well as the travel expenses and brand impact for the manufacturer, are all enormous.
