A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
POSITION TRANSDUCERS
Since its inception in 1975 Autotech Controls division of
AVG Automation has been in the forefront of developing
resolver based technology for the industry. Through continu-
ous innovation and by virtue of its vertical integration AVG
Automation is able to bring to you the ruggedness and noise
immunity of resolver based technology for the cost of optical
encoders. Over half a million AVG resolvers are in use all over
the world to provide position/motion feedback to such con-
trols as PLCs, CNCs, computer based controls and definite
purpose OEM controls.
Back in 1985, AVG Automation revolutionized the encoder
market by introducing the Digisolver; industry's first resolver
based digital encoder that combined the ruggedness of a
resolver with the reliability of solid-state circuitry.
In late 80's Autotech introduced the concept of resolver
decoder module that plugs directly into the PLCs eliminating
the need of stand alone decoder module. In the world of pro-
prietary PLCs and racks, these modules called BusModules
provide the only "Universal" solution. These modules are uni-
versal as the same module can be used in any of the supported
PLC racks offering a common user interface (for a function)
across different PLCs.
