Capacitive Sensors
Except for the models P-62x.x0L, all P-62x are equipped with capacitive sensors.
Capacitive sensors measure the position directly on the platform (direct metrology) and work
without contact. Neither friction nor hysteresis interferes with the motion, which allows
excellent linearity values to be achieved together with the high position resolution. In
conjunction with suitable electronics, capacitive sensors achieve the best resolution, stability,
and bandwidth.

ID Chip (Models with D-sub 7W2 Connector Only)
An ID chip is located in the D-sub connector of the P-62x. When the P-62x is calibrated at the
factory with digital electronics, the calibration data is saved on the ID chip together with
specific product information. During switch-on, the digital electronics read the data from the
ID chip of the P-62x connected. A P-62x with an ID chip containing calibration data can
therefore be connected to any suitable digital electronics without renewed calibration.
For more information on the ID chip, see the manual of the controller used.
