Quadrature Output Option connects to motion-based systems.
Absolute Quadrature output option is available for Micropulse(R) BTL-Z rod-style linear displacement transducers. It interfaces directly to standard encoder inputs (90 deg out-of-phase, A and B), and provides absolute position information upon request. It operates in synchronous or free-running modes. Output carries selectable position resolution (1, 2, 5, 10 micron or 0.001, 0.0001 in.) and...

Color Sensor works without external light source.
BFS-26K measures red/green/blue component of reflected light and shades of gray in single processing step. It uses integrated, pulsed white light source that eliminates need for external illumination and makes it insensitive to ambient light. Each of its three digital outputs can be calibrated using five color resolution tolerance levels. It can be programmed through control line or using...
