Measuring distances per pulse count and the angle of orientation of the shaft can now be easily integrated into Cube67 installations. Designed for incremental encoders, the module has two programmable set-points that enable comparison with the actual count value.

When the preset comparison value is reached, the module provides an appropriate output, independent of the PLC program. This is a useful feature for inverter-driven motors on conveyor belts, lifting devices or other materials handling system.
