Abstract
It is an object of the present invention to provide an encoder that is easier to use. An encoder 1 used in a numerical control device includes a signal generation unit configured to generate a digital signal, and a configuration information output unit configured to output configuration information that determines operation of the signal generation unit, in which the configuration information output unit includes a voltage level acquisition unit that acquires a voltage level to be input, a configuration information selection unit that selects configuration information according to the acquired voltage level among a plurality of types of configuration information, and a configuration information transmission unit that transmits the selected configuration information to the signal generation unit.
