How Do Coded Switches Work?

Coded SWITCHes are a common type of electric control switch, widely used in machinery, electronics and other fields, commonly used in control devices, counters, sensors and other electronic equipment. So, what is the working principle of Coding Switch? In this article, we will introduce the components, working principle and application of coding switch.

    Components

    The coding switch is mainly composed of five parts: knob, switch handle, adjustable coding disk, coding board and keys. Among them, the knob and switch handle are used to set the control conditions, the adjustable coding disk and coding plate form the codable parts to provide coding signals, and the keys are used to realize the control operation of the switch.

    Principle of operation

    The operating principle of a Coded Switch is based on binary coding. The rotation of the knob drives the adjustable coding disk and the coding plate through the switch handle, and the angle of change of the knob is recorded, and different binary codes are marked on the adjustable coding disk and the coding plate. When the switch is operated, the pushbutton rotates the adjustable coding disk and the coding plate together, and the contacts of the coding plate come into contact with the wires on the adjustable coding disk, and the relevant control signals are output according to the connected binary codes, realizing the function of switch control.

    APPLICATIONS

    Coded Switches are widely used in electronic equipment, counters and control devices. Because they combine counter and switch control functions, they can be used in a variety of digital input and control schemes. In the field of machinery, coded switches can be used to flexibly control mechanical movement paths and actions to improve the precision and automation of machinery.

    In summary, coded switches are mainly composed of five parts: knob, switch handle, adjustable coding disk, coding plate and keypad, and their working principle is based on binary coding. Coded switches are widely used in electronic equipment, counters, control devices, etc. They can be used in digital input and control programs, and can also be used to flexibly control mechanical motion paths and actions.
