Newall SHG-A2 Absolute Linear Encoder

RS232 serial communication is typically used to interface with PC "COM" ports. A serial to USB converter is available to allow interface via a USB port. Developed to meet a wide range of feedback applications, the SHG-A2 absolute linear encoder provides a true absolute position immediately upon power-up. The encoder does not use batteries or static memory to retain the positional data. True position can be reacquired once power is applied, regardless of duration or power-off movements.
