Versatility, Variety and Programmability

ixarc incremental encoders Industrial motion control systems come in all shapes and sizes and different standards are common in different region. POSITAL has responded to the challenges of this diverse market by offering you an extraordinarily wide range of choices.

  • Programmable Output Driver (HTL/TTL)
  • Customize PPR to Your Application
  • Programmable Counting Direction: A before B, B before A
  • Easy to Program with UBIFAST Configuration Tool
  • Large Variety of Mechanical Designs and Electrical Connections
  • Coverage of Standards from America, Asia and Europe
  • Rugged, Reliable Magnetic Sensing Technology
  • Compact Size down to 36 mm Diameter

Programmable Sensors Quickly Program with any WiFi-Enabled Device
POSITAL’s new programmable incremental rotary encoders take versatility to a new level. Resolution can be set anywhere from 1 to 16,384 pulses per turn in software, without changing the mechanical properties of the devices. Similarly, pulse direction and the output driver – either Push-Pull (HTL) or RS422 (TTL) – can be defined through software parameters. Changes can be made quickly using POSITAL’s easy-to-use UBIFAST programming tool. Device programmability is very significant for distributors, system integrators or machine builders since it helps them reduce inventories. Now, they can hold a relatively small stock of ‘standard’ models and set them up for specific applications on an as-needed basis.



 

POSITAL has also introduced a unique Internet-enabled configuration management system for IXARC programmable encoders. Whenever a device is reconfigured, the operator can register the changes with POSITAL through an automatic email interface. POSITAL will update the configuration history of the device in a database maintained by the company. If a replacement part is required, this record can be accessed and used to manufacture an encoder with an identical performance profile. It could also be provided to a distributor or system integrator who could take a mechanically compatible device from their stock, enter the appropriate software parameters and deliver the completed unit directly to the end user.

A Million Possibilities
IXARC rotary encoders are offered in a wide variety of mechanical features, connector types and connection interfaces. With over a million possible choices, you can find variants that will fit directly into their equipment with minimal modifications.

POSITAL's online product finder enables you to browse through the full range of options and retrieve the specification datasheets and CAD drawings you need. Order fulfilment is usually within two weeks, virtually anywhere in the world.
