Electronic position indicator AP10S

With bus interface, for direct linear length measurement
SIKO Global, Electronic position indicator AP10S
SIKO Global, Electronic position indicator AP10S
SIKO Global, Electronic position indicator AP10S
SIKO Global, Electronic position indicator AP10S
Absolute position display with communication interface for linear or slide adjustment intuitively guides the operator to the correct machine setting when changing products or changing formats. Readability is optimized for intuitive user prompting: The backlit display clearly shows the setpoint and actual value, and the two LEDs clearly indicate the direction in which the adjustment must be made. The IO link interface enables easy and reliable integration into modular machines.
  • Electronic position indicator with plug connection for magnetic sensor
  • Optimally readable backlit display
  • Two-line LCD for target and actual values
  • Reset, incremental measurement, offset via keyboard
  • Integrated RS485 interface, CAN bus or IO-Link as an option
  • Display accuracy up to 0.01 mm
  • Absolute function via internal backup
  • User guidance via bicolor status LEDs
  • IP53 protection class, IP65 as an option
  • Industry 4.0 ready

Industry 4.0

In most cases, data exchange with the position indicators is limited to the exchange of process data. In addition to the process data, intelligent displays provide additional information that can be evaluated for condition monitoring up to predictive maintenance:
Process data
 Smart Value
 Smart Function
Actual position
 Battery voltage
 Battery change planning
"Target position "
 Presence, distance, alignment sensor
 Counting error
