MCS 16 |Overview

Absolute modular angle encoders MCS 16 without integral bearing are used as position and rotator control for electrical drives and in the measurement technology.
- Absolute position valuation
- Various serial interfaces
- Function display directly at the scanning head via status LED
- Easy mounting and large mounting tolerances
- Possible shaft diameter ≥ 75 mm ≤ 701 mm

Mounting aid MH MCx 16
Mounting aid for the scanning head of MCR 16 und MCS 16 (diameter-dependent).

PWT 100 / PWT 101
The PWT 100 / PWT 101 is a testing device for checking the function and adjustment of RSF Elektronik encoders. Thanks to its compact dimensions and robust design, the PWT 100 / PWT 101 is ideal for mobile use. A 4.3-inch touchscreen provides for display and operation. For example, for encoders with EnDat interface you can not only display the position value but also export the online diagnosis, shift datums, and perform further inspection functions.
Available functions
The performance range of the PWT 100 / PWT 101 can be expanded by firmware update. Appropriate firmware files that can be imported to the PWT 100 through a memory card (not included in delivery) will be made available at www.heidenhain.de.
