Touchless Angle Sensors with IO-Link – Novotechnik U.S.
SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass. — Novotechnik, U.S. introduces the RFC4800 Series of touchless angle sensors measuring angular position up to 360°, revolution counter and speed — without wear.
The RFC 4800 is now available with IO-Link output interface. Its serial communication protocol needs only three wires to simultaneously transmit measured values and status information. The status bit can signal a controller if a sensor needs replacement and the controller can detect the new device and automatically configure it based on stored values minimizing down time. Parameters such as zero point can be sent and programmed into the sensor over this bus.
