Description
The EBIS-ENC4 system is the counter interface of the EBIS IoT product family. In addition to the standard features of the EBIS product series, the EBIS-ENC4 unit has 3 sin/cos and 1 incremental counter inputs or 4 incremental counter inputs. Furthermore to the sensor data acquisition, the system provides a trigger input (e.g. for footswitch) or one output to control an axis (X3 Option). Due to the available versions and configuration options, a wide range of different sensors can be used and thus a wide variety of applications can be realized.
