An absolute encoder provides a unique digital code for each shaft position, allowing it to retain exact position data even after a power loss. In contrast, an incremental encoder generates pulses to indicate movement and direction but does not retain position when powered off, requiring a reference point upon restart. Absolute encoders are ideal for applications needing precise and consistent positioning, while incremental encoders are commonly used in cost-sensitive systems where only relative
