In addition to conventional digital interfaces such as IO-Link and CANopen, this product introduces a new analog output lineup compatible with a 5V power supply. It facilitates integration into existing equipment and usage in analog control environments, enabling deployment across a broader range of industrial fields.
■ Primary Applications
This product is expected to be used in a wide range of industrial fields, including:
Machine tools and industrial machinery
Automation equipment (FA equipment)
Linear actuator and valve control
Printing, paper converting, and packaging machinery
Gate and lifting devices
Steering control for AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) and LGVs
It demonstrates particularly excellent performance in off-shaft installations in space-constrained environments and applications converting rotation to linear motion.
We are always accepting requests for evaluation samples and technical consultations.
■ Product Features
● "True-Power-On" Feature Retains Position Even During Power Loss
The MC1-2800 is equipped with a mechanism that continues to count the number of rotations even during a power outage, maintaining accurate position information even after power is restored. This reduces the effort of re-homing and contributes to improved equipment operating efficiency.
● Wide Range Measurement up to 44 Rotations
It supports from 1 rotation (360°) up to a maximum of 44 rotations (15,840°). It is ideal for long-stroke position detection in linear actuators and transport devices.
● High Precision and High Stability
Resolution: 16-bit (full range)
Linearity: Max 0.13% FS (at 44 rotations)
Repeatability: 0.5°
Temperature characteristics: 0.25% FS
It realizes the high-precision position detection required for industrial applications.
● Flexible Analog Output Settings
Output range: 0.25 to 4.75V or 0.5 to 4.5V
Output characteristics: Forward / reverse rotation selectable
Flexible system design tailored to the application is possible.
