MP105E
M-232 Linear Actuator
3.6 Suitable Controllers
The M-232 must be connected to a suitable controller (see Data Table, p. 39).
The required PC software is included in the scope of delivery of the PI controllers. The
operation of the controllers is described in the corresponding user manuals.

3.8 Technical Features
3.8.1 Rotary Encoder
The models with DC motors are equipped with a rotary encoder. A rotary encoder,
also called an incremental or incremental rotary encoder, is implemented at a rotating
point in the drivetrain, e.g. the motor shaft. To determine the relative position, the
controller counts the encoder signals, the so-called impulses.
3.8.2 Limit Switches
The M-232 is equipped with non-contact, Hall-effect limit switches.
Each limit switch sends an overtravel signal on a dedicated line to the controller. The
controller then stops the motion. If the controller does not stop the motion in time, the
linear actuator runs into the hard stop.
See "Limit Switch Specifications" (p. 41) for more information.
