Digital Gauge Frequently Asked Questions
Question number FAQ-0118
Output specifications of the linear gauge sensor and connector specifications.
I will describe the signal output circuit of the GS・BS series linear gauge sensor.
Signal output
The output is provided as a 2-phase pulse signal from the sensor. The distance per pulse is shown in the table below.
If connecting to devices other than our display, it is necessary to use a multiplication circuit for direct reading, converting to 10μm per pulse and 1μm.
Please be aware of noise and other factors.
| Minimum display unit for GS and BS sensors | the distance between one pulse |
|---|---|
| For 10μm unit sensor | 40 μm |
| for 1μm unit sensor | 4 μm |
| GS-7000 Series | 2 μm |
| GS-3800 Series | 0.4 μm |
■ Output circuit, connector wiring diagram
The output circuit varies by model, with four types available.
