| Safety Sensor |
| Photoelectric safety sensors for personnel safety In order to achieve the required level of safety when people or parts of their bodies approach a hazard, non-contact protective systems are the first choice. Photoelectric sensors are used to fulfill protective measures, especially when the freedom of movement cannot be limited by other types of protection. Product Features: From the individual safety photoelectric sensor to light curtain arrays for machine protection Finger protection, hand protection, and body protection Self-monitoring satisfies the requirements of Type 2 or Type 4 as in IEC 61496-1 Diagnostic display allows easy trouble-shooting Safety outputs are OSSD, relay, or semiconductor With power-up blocking Easy integration in existing machine controls Powerful muting functions |

| Pepperl+Fuchs Encoders |
| |
| Incremental Rotary Encoder |
| |
| Incremental rotary encoders supply a certain number of pulses for each shaft revolution. Speed is measured by counting the pulses for a period of time. To calculate angle or the distance covered, pulses are counted starting from a reference point. Dual channel quadrature output encoders feature two signal outputs that are 900 out of phase with each other. This permits the controller to determine direction of rotation and perform bi-directional positioning tasks. In addition, three-channel incremental encoders have a third signal channel (known as “zero”, or reference, signal) that provides a single pulse for each revolution. |

| Pepperl+Fuchs Absolute Rotary Encoder |
| |
| Absolute rotary encoders provide a distinctly coded numerical value for each shaft position. In positioning tasks in particular, the absolute encoders relieve the controller of computation tasks and keep costs down by eliminating the need for additional input components. Moreover, reference runs when the machine is switched on or after power failures are no longer required as the current position value is available immediately. Parallel absolute encoders transmit the position value to the analyzing electronics through several parallel cables. Serial absolute encoders transmit their output data via standardized interfaces and protocols. In the past, point-to-point connections were frequently set up for serial data transmission but today fieldbus systems are being used more often. |
