Description

iC-TW29 is a complete solution for arbitrary resolution ST and MT encoders. Independent I/O modules provide BiSS C, ABZ, or UVW outputs separately or in combination. 1 to 4,096 input cycles/rev are converted into a freely scalable output angle of up to 26 bit. Automatic signal error correction ensures a minimum angular error and jitter. Off-center optical discs or magnetic polewheels can be compensated for eccentricity. Connecting a revolution counter is possible, to output multiturn absolute data on BiSS.
