Providing managers with real-time access to the shop-floor data they need to operate their businesses effectively and profitably is now simpler than ever with the Monitor Pro SCADA.
Compact HMIs make entry level control easy
Answering the need for inexpensive operator interfaces for simple machine control, a range of compact HMI displays have controllable backlighting in red, amber or green.
Dedicated to applications such as automobile, machine tools, robotics, cranes, materials handling, automatic dispensers, packaging, cutting machines, the new encoders are available on short deliveries, and the simplicity of the range makes Osicoder products easy to select as well as significantly reducing stocking and spares requirements.
The range includes one of the only programmable incremental of the market.
This innovative 58mm diameter model allows users to select any resolution from 256 to 80,000 points.
Programming is carried out using DIP switches, no need for a PC or other special programming.
A single model can be used in many different applications.
This is a big benefit for users and distributors who now need to stock a much smaller number of products.
Also available are absolute encoders with either Profibus DP or CANopen interface.
These units simplify wiring, and facilitate integration with modern Bus-based automation systems.
Other Osicoder models include fixed-resolution incremental and absolute encoders with housing diameters from 40mm to 90mm.
All models are offered with solid or hollow shafts in up to three different diameters.
Product technical performances have been strongly enhanced since they can be used from 5V to 30V and are fully protected against short circuits and reverse polarity.
Products are shock resistant up to 100G, and all types offer IP65 ingress protection.
In addition, the encoders can withstand a maximum load of 10N and can be used continuously in temperatures as high as 100 deg C.
A complete range of accessories is also available to allow users to mount the products in any configuration.
