Features

MG40 series, new measurement system integrates the primary functions of a counter into the gauge itself to a high degree. The MG40 series does not have to count analog outputs or AB phase outputs of the gauge and acquires positional information directly via full digital communication. The theoretical response speed is 20 times faster than the response speed of our previous models. Miscounts, caused by external noise, are eliminated and the system is capable of instantly recovering from a communication error by way of re-reads.

Ethernet and CC-Link models are available
