Provided are a signal processing apparatus for an encoder that is able to detect anomalies in encoder output signals and a method of generating multi-turn data of an encoder. A signal processing apparatus for an encoder includes an encoder that outputs a first phase output signal, a second phase output signal and a third phase output signal one pulse per revolution of a rotary shaft, at least three multi-turn counters including a first multi-turn counter, a second multi-turn counter and a third multi-turn counter that respectively receive input of different combinations of output signals of two phases out of the first phase output signal, the second phase output signal and the third phase output signal, and respectively output a first counter value, a second counter value and a third counter value based on the output signals of two phases, and a comparison unit that receives input of the first counter value, the second counter value and the third counter value, and compares the first counter value, the second
