ABSOLUTE POSITION ROTARY ELECTRIC ENCODER INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION The VLX-60 is a member of the VLX series of Electric Encoders™ a product line based on Netzer Precision Position Sensor proprietary technology. EE products are characterized by features that enable unparalleled performance: Due to the absence of components such as ball bearings, flexible couplers, glass discs, light sources and detectors along with very low power consumption enables the EE to deliver virtually failure-free performance in nearly all types of conditions. • Hollow shaft (Stator / Rotor) • No bearings or other contact elements • High resolution and unparalleled precision • High tolerance to temperature extremes, shock, moisture, EMI, RFI and magnetic fields The internally shielded, DC operated EE includes an electric field generator, a field receiver, sinusoidal-shaped dielectric rotor, and processing electronics. The EE output is a digital serial synchronous with absolute position single turn. • Very low weight • Holistic signal generation • Digital interfaces for absolute position This combination of high precision, low profile and, low weight has made Netzer Precision encoders highly reliable and particularly well suited to a wide variety of industrial automation applications. Angular resolution Maximum tested static error Extended accuracy static error Maximum operational speed Measurement range Single turn, unlimited Operating temperature Rotation direction Adjustable CW/CCW* Storage temperature Relative humidity Shock endurance Vibration endurance * Default same direction from bottom side of the encoder Mechanical Allowable mounting eccentricity Allowable axial mounting tolerance ±0.1 mm Rotor inertia Total weight Calibration / Compensation Outer Ø /Inner Ø/ Profile Automatic / Manual Material (stator, rotor) Signals level Automatic / Manual Nominal air gap (stator, rotor) Signals integrity Error / Warning report Error / Warning report Zero position DATA SHEET The holistic structure of the Electric Encoder™ makes it unique: Its output reading is the averaged outcome of the entire area of the rotor. This feature allows the EE a tolerant mechanical mounting and to deliver outstanding precision. Supply voltage Current consumption

ABSOLUTE POSITION ROTARY ELECTRIC ENCODER INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION SSi / BiSS output signal parameters Clock frequency Position update rate Green Yellow Master Clock BiSS – C Interface is unidirectional serial synchronous protocol for digital data transmission where the Encoder acts as “slave” transmits data according to “Master” clock. The BiSS protocol is designed in B mode and C mode (continuous mode) .The BiSS-C interface as the SSi is based on RS-422 standards.
