5 Product Features
The universal ELGO position indicator Z58-600 is suitable for detecting
lengths and positions. The device has 2 programmable pre-selections in
order to control 2 internal normally open relays.
Both conventional incremental encoders and incremental or absolute
ELGO measuring systems can be connected as input signals. It is there-
fore a universal device which can visualize the information of numerous
ELGO standard measuring systems.
With the Z58-600, ELGO is able to offer a complete solution concerning
signal detection and visualization.
The predecessor type Z54 can be replaced by Z58 (except for a few
special devices). Please consider the pin assignment during Z54 re-
placement, because with Z58 additional plugs for news encoder types
are available.
