製品の主要な機能

1. Absolute Measurement Principle: Directly read the current absolute angle once powered on without homing operations; position data is permanently stored after power failure to avoid re-homing after power-up.
2. High-Precision Optical Scanning: Mature optical detection technology paired with 18-bit high resolution delivers sub-arc-second repeatability to meet precision positioning demands of high-end equipment.
3. PROFINET Industrial Bus: Standard PROFINET IO interface directly compatible with mainstream PLC control systems such as Siemens, enabling high-speed real-time exchange of position and speed data.
4. Blind Hollow Shaft Design: The standard 15 mm bore fits most servo motor shafts; front clamping mounting eliminates extra couplings to save installation space and simplify commissioning.
5. Robust Environmental Adaptability: Wide-voltage power supply, high protection rating and wide temperature range enable stable long-term operation in harsh industrial environments with dust, moisture and strong electromagnetic interference.
6. Flexibly Configurable Parameters: Customizable parameters including preset position value, counting direction and speed sampling rate to fit application scenarios across diverse industries.
