Versatile uses for multifunction
controllers
The Kubler Codix 571 series of multifunctional controllers is the latest addition to Leuze Mayser's range of counters and digital displays.
The Kubler Codix 571 series of multifunctional controllers is the latest addition to Leuze Mayser's range of counters and digital displays, its introduction coming with an emphasis on high-speed performance up to 100kHz The new programmable series of displays and counters are very versatile, able to indicate frequency, rotational speed or position, convert digital input signals into analogue values as well as switch two optocoupler outputs as alarms, they can also display process time

Readers make sense of 2D barcodes
To complement and extend the functionality of its extensive range of barcode readers and vision systems Leuze Mayser has added a series of two-dimensional code readers.
The Codix 571, six-digit indicator has easy-to-read 15mm LED figures, benefits from an IP65 protected housing (DIN 96 x 48mm) and can be powered either from an AC or DC supply.
Applications can be found wherever a high input frequency is used for positioning, rotating or dosing and where an accurate local field display is needed, for example within the framework of distributed controls.
Input signals can come for instance from rotary encoders or linear measuring systems, such as the new Limes magnetic measuring system from Kubler.
If certain limits have to be monitored, for example maximum rotational speed or position, then the user can call on the two optocoupler outputs.
Within the setup menu there is a wide choice of options for scaling the inputs so that the desired engineering units are displayed.
It is also possible to convert the input pulses into analogue output values (scaling function), with a choice of 4-20mA, 0-20mA, 2-10V or 0-10V.
An optional serial interface permits easy connection to higher-level systems, also, if the signal needs further processing, then the analogue converter function can be used, or the positional data can be transmitted via the serial interface. Request a free brochure from Leuze Mayser ...
