The RSC3700 family of non-contacting rotary sensors provides 360-degree absolute angle measurements with 12-bit resolution. Measurements are referred to a mechanical index point, providing retention of position in the event of power failures. A microprocessor incorporated into the sensor enables a custom output characteristic curve to be preprogrammed for a specific application. Output interfaces include 4 to 20 mA, 0 to 10 V, or 0.5 to 4.5 V analog as well as digital pulse-width modulation. Additionally, RSC3700 sensors can be set to generate up to two digital “trigger” signals that may be used to control mechanical processes or signal specific events. Taken together, linearization programmability, position, and control output features can eliminate signal conditioning and control logic circuitry in many applications. The sensor can serve as an encoder in applications that require a customizable solution. Measuring 1.44 in. in diameter and 1.81 in. in depth, RSC3700 sensors feature a rugged stainless steel case that is sealed to IP 67 and designed to withstand high EMC levels. They are also designed to operate in temperatures from -40° to +85°C. A 10-mm shaft is standard and a 3/8-in. shaft is available.
