Abstract
An encoder includes a rotation position sensor, a first addition information generator, an identification information generator, and a sender. The rotation position detector is configured to detect a rotation position within one rotation of a rotation shaft of a motor. The first addition information generator is configured to generate first addition information for a period at least longer than a data sending period. The identification information generator is configured to generate identification information by which at least the first addition information is identifiable as information to be sent. The sender is configured to send, for the data sending period, sending data including the rotation position within one rotation. The sending data includes first sending data including the rotation position within one rotation, the identification information, and the first addition information.
