Newall SHG-AF Absolute Linear Encoder
This protocol is proprietary to Fanuc and available on all of their control systems. The controller makes a request for positional data and the encoder has to respond correctly with data within a strictly controlled time state. Developed to meet a wide range of feedback applications, the SHG-AF 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.
