Software-Programmable Rotary Encoder

    June 17, 2004
    The ZI-58 Series incremental rotary encoder features an output of 5 to 32,768 pulses.

    It can be programmed to any value and mechanical zero pulse position required, even after online installation, making it no longer necessary to hold numerous fixed-disk encoders in inventory. The ZI-58 comes with U.S. and metric mounting flanges.
