Could you elaborate on the operational principles of forward and backward counting logic as applied to incremental encoders? How does each logic scheme facilitate the tracking and interpretation of linear or rotational motion? Additionally, what factors influence the selection between these two counting methodologies in industrial and automation contexts?"
