PLMIX2 is a compact magnetic measuring system with a resolution of up to 5 µm. The sensor measures incrementally and has a CANopen interface. Thanks to the CANopen interface, the PLMIX2 can be connected to existing bus systems easily and in a space-saving way. This unique concept reduces the cabling and wiring effort and thus simplifies the electrical installation – an advantage especially in applications where several sensors communicate with the controller.
The extremely compact read head can be mounted at a distance of up to 2.0 mm from the magnetic tape.
