The RPGD is a heavy duty, extremely rugged, reliable, yet compact encoder designed for harsh factory and plant floor environments. It conforms to NEMA 4, 13 and P66 standards. Typical applications include motion control feedback, machine control, process control, elevator controls, conveyors, textile equipment, robotics and food processing. The RPGD series of sensors have open collector outputs. An open collector output brings the uncommitted collector of the encoder switching device to the external world. Because the collector element is not associated with the sensor supply voltage, the sensor output collector may be “pulled up” to external voltages (40 VDC max.) different than the encoder supply voltage . NPN open collector outputs are current sinking devices. An output signal will not be generated unless a pull-up resistor is connected from the open-collector to the positive side of an external supply. The same supply can be used for powering the unit and for the pull-up resistor.
