1.3 Specifications
An encoder is a sensor that is designed to detect angular positions (singleturn) and
revolutions (multiturn). The measured data and variables are processed by the
encoder and provided as electrical output signals for the connected peripherals.
The patented technologies QuattroMag® (for singleturn) and EnDra® (for multiturn)
are used in the WDGA series. As a result, the WDGA-series encoders from
Wachendorff are maintenance-free and very eco-friendly.
The encoders whose article descriptions are listed in section 1.2 communicate via the
EtherNet/IP interface.
