Incremental and Absolute Functionality in a Single Device
POSITAL introduces new members of its IXARC family of rotary encoders that combine incremental and absolute rotation measurement capabilities in a single, compact package.
The combination of both measurement capabilities in a single device provides control system designers with extra flexibility. Moreover, the incremental signal can be used as a “heartbeat” that confirms that the sensor is functioning normally.
Easy to Program with UBIFAST Configuration Tool
Wide range of mechanical configurations and connector types
Contact-free Measurement
Any PPR up to 16384 Available
Compact Size down to 36 mm Diameter
Real-Time 16 bit Resolution
Parameters to Program: PPR, Resolution, Number of Turns, Direction
Absolute and Incremental Rotary Encoders
Absolute encoders provide the control system with an accurate report of the rotational angle and number of complete rotations of the encoder shaft at a specific point in time, they are an ideal solution for many machinery positioning tasks.

Incremental encoders, on the other hand, provide a signal pulse every time the encoder shaft rotates by a specified angle. Their excellent dynamic response makes them a good choice for monitoring rotational speed and direction.

One Hardware ? Thousands of Encoders
The full range of programmable options and features can be selected through the use of POSITAL’s new UBIFAST programming interface. The UBIFAST system includes a programming interface built into the encoders and a new UBIFAST configuration tool that enables users to program their devices through an easy-to-use WiFi-enabled user interface.
PROGRAMMABLE ENCODER 2.0
No Software, No App, No Installations
POSITAL is introducing powerful new programming capabilities and tools for their IXARC series of rotary encoders. With these new capabilities, the encoders’ performance characteristics can be extensively modified through software changes, without requiring any changes to physical components. In a related development, POSITAL is introducing the UBIFAST configuration tool, a hardware module that can be easily connected to programmable encoders through accessory cables. The UBIFAST tool features a built-in WiFi hotspot and webserver. Once the tool has been powered up, any WiFi-enabled smartphone, tablet, or laptop computer can connect to the WiFi hotspot and the configuration interface will automatically open up in a standard web browser window – no app, no software installation, and no Internet connection are required.
POSITAL also presents an Internet-enabled configuration management system for IXARC programmable encoders. Whenever a device is reconfigured, the operator has the option of registering the changes with POSITAL through an automatic interface.
ANALOG ATEX-CERTIFIED ROTARY ENCODERS
Encoder for Hazardous Locations
POSITAL analog ATEX-certified absolute encoder is designed to operate safely in atmospheres where there are potentially dangerous levels of explosive gases or dust. These devices are part of the IXARC family of magnetic rotary sensors and are available in single- or multiturn versions. Rugged, reliable and highly accurate, these devices can be ordered with a wide range of mounting and coupling options that ensure that they can be installed in zones 1 and 21 (as defined from the ATEX directive).
Certified for Underground Mines (Group I) and Other Industries (Group II)
The ATEX certified encoders are available with the following interfaces:
Analog-Current 0 – 20 mA 4 – 20 mA
Analog-Voltage 0 – 5 V 0 – 10 V 0.5 – 4.5 V 0.5 – 9.5 V
Industries
POSITAL offers unique sensors to meet the needs of industries such as:
DESIGNED FOR CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENTS
High Performance with Incremental or Absolute Interface
POSITAL is excited to introduce the new IXARC high performance magnetic encoder in a heavy duty version. With an IP68/IP69K rating, high shock and vibration resistance and high load bearing shafts, these encoders are built to last in the most abusive environments.
Water Proof for Harsh Environments
Water damage is a common problem for many sensors, but not for the IXARC heavy duty rotary encoder. Whether it is pressure washing an excavator or salt spray on a ship, with an IP68/IP69K environmental rating and optional stainless steel housings, these sensors are built for years of reliable use.
Compact and Robust Housings
The IP68/IP69K IXARC heavy duty rotary encoder has a diameter of only 36/42 mm which makes it a compact solution for many applications with limited installation space. Moreover, its rugged housing, hardened shaft and extraordinary sealing provide protection against wear and corrosion.
SSI and Incremental Interface
IXARC High Performance encoders are available with incremental and SSI interfaces to suit your application.
Incremental Interface
Up to 16384 pulses per revolution
Available with HTL(Push-Pull)/TTL(RS422)
SSI Interface
Available with resolutions up to 16 bit singleturn and 22 bit multiturn
Ability to configure preset and counting direction
Industries
With over 120,000 IXARC encoders available, POSITAL offers unique sensors to meet the needs of industries such as:
Machines
Material Handling
Marine
Metal Forming
Mining
Oil & Gas
Position & Motion Sensors
Protection Sensors
FAST ETHERCAT ROTARY ENCODER
High Performance with Simple Operation
POSITAL’s new optical encoders with EtherCAT provide high-speed data for positioning and speed control – they ensure extremely short cycle times of up to 62 μs. Thanks to their distributed clock function, they allow users to synchronize axes with a deviation of <1 μs. The EtherCAT encoders support cable redundancy, thus minimizing breakdown times in case of cable breaks: if special PLCs with two network cards are used, a maximum of one cycle is lost. A round axis functionality enables users to implement applications with non-binary gearing factors (e.g. 6 revolutions). The firmware can be updated through standard configuration tools such as TwinCAT, with a password protection that restricts access to authorized personnel.
Very Fast Cycle Time (up to 62 μs)
Firmware Update with Password Protection
Up to 16 bit Resolution and 14 bit Revolution
All Common Flanges/Shaft Sizes Available
Up to IP67 Environmental Protection
Optional Stainless Steel and Explosion Proof Housings
