Linear transducers now have integrated Profibus-DP
Micropulse magnetostrictive linear transducers from Balluff-MultiSwitch are now available with integrated Profibus-DP, and automatic baud rate detection by the transducer assures trouble-free startup
But unlike other encoders, the Micropulse Absolute Quadrature has the following added features: it provides absolute position information on request, eliminating the need to rehome after power loss; it operates in either synchronous or free-running modes; it offers selectable position resolution (1, 2, 5 or 10um); and it has a choice of pulse frequencies (10, 208, 416 or 833kHz).
With its novel design, high protection rating and ease of installation, the BTL-P style transducer is the ideal alternative to potentiometers, glass scales and LVDTs.
With its heavy-duty stainless steel pressure tube and its maintenance-free housing, the BTL-Z rod style transducer is the ideal choice for a wide variety of automation and process technology areas, even under extreme ambient conditions.
