With your jerry rigged incremental linear encoders system you use anything is likely to happen we where not talking about incremental encoders

Absolute is the name of the game

Jerry rigged? Never had a problem on the machine with the linear encoders, it works flawlessly and has for years. That subject was about losing position. That's why I separated the quotes.

The DMM problems were on machines using the DMM encoders, and no linear encoders. But I admit I was wrong, I identified the DMM single turn absolute encoder as an incremental. I have never used the DMM multi-turn absolute units.
