The days of confusing type variety and encoders with complicated programming are finally over! The new incremental encoders from ifm electronic can be used universally due to the intelligent product and function design, and stand out thanks to a superb price/performance ratio. The magnetic sensing principle provides the accuracy of photoelectric encoders and the robustness of magnetic systems. Resolution and signal level can be programmed. The encoders have a wide voltage range of 4.75...30 V DC and are therefore suited for universal use.

Performance Line
Performance Line encoders have an integrated signal evaluation for speed monitoring, counter functions and detection of the direction of rotation. They provide easy setting, position value indication by means of display and operating keys and intuitive menu navigation. Diagnostic and parameter data are reliably transferred via IO-Link. Ready for Industry 4.0!
