Technical Frequently Asked Questions
What can be connected to the RSB-3600 incremental angle sensor?
It can be connected to Novotechnik M12 connectors and cables and Novotechnik rotary sensor couplings and accessories.
How do I order the RSB-3600 incremental angle sensor?
The order code has six fields: mechanical version, interface, resolution, parameters, and connection. For example, RSB-3601-212-515-FM8 is the synchronous flange version with a 6 mm x 12.5 mm shaft, digital interface, 1024 ppr (4096 counts), incremental A/B/Z in Low Speed mode (minimum edge separation 8 µs), 5 V RS-422, and an 8-pin M12x1 connector. All the options for each field are available in the order code configurator on this page.
Under what conditions does the RSB-3600 incremental angle sensor operate?
Operating temperature: -30 … +85 °C (connector), -40 … +85 °C (cable); higher temperatures available upon request.
