| Encoder is a position/direction device attached to servo's or servo driven mechanism to indicate to the drive or closed loop controller the servo position. MPG is manual pulse generator, which is essentially an encoder operated by hand to index the servo's in a manual step fashion. I am not sure wether this is what you wanted? Al.
