Linear encoders are rapid, accurate and repeatable
Adding to its growing family of dependable, durable position sensors, BEI Industrial Encoder Division introduces a new line of linear encoders.
Unlike other wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi, SwiftComm's fast boot-up and transmission time allow it to seamlessly interface with existing control systems.
Simply connect the SwiftComm transmitter to the encoder and the SwiftComm receiver to the control system and apply power.
Costly and time-consuming cabling can now be a thing of the past.
The SwiftComm system includes the transmitter-receiver pair, which communicates using a point-to-point frequency-hopping 2.4GHz RF protocol.
SwiftComm's proprietary radio protocols include a broad security code range, data encryption, handshaking, and error checking that together provide a secure and robust wireless interface system.
Ruggedness and flexibility are further enhanced with SwiftComm's NEMA 4 weatherproof enclosures, panel mounting options, antenna choices and wide-range DC power inputs.
The SwiftComm system is ideal for a wide variety of industrial applications where cable runs are expensive to install and maintain.
