So I have this encoder (MCD-AV002-0012-S060-PAM) that gives a voltage output of 0-10 VDC. 2mV increment/decrement value when position changes. However, this guy is located ~80-100 feet away from where well, everything else is going to be (MCU, control circuitry, etc.). The way I figure it, there is no way that voltage signal is going to make it. So I need to make it so that it does.
I was thinking possibly a voltage to frequency IC? (LM331?, will I need to amplify magnitude? if so, w/ what?)
A voltage to current, i.e. XTR111? (Anyone used these guys before?)
Or even some sort of transconductance amplifier? (anyone try this or even have some ones they recommend?)
