GMA-MT Serie encoder is an Modbus-TCP interface cooper-gear-type multi-turn absolute encoder with housing Dia.:58mm; Solid Shaft Dia.:10mm, Resolution:Max.29bits; MODBUS TCP/IP is a variant of the MODBUS family of simple, vendor-neutral communication protocols intended for supervision and control of automation equipment. Specifically, it covers the use of MODBUS messaging in an ‘Intranet’ or ‘Internet’ environment using the TCP/IP protocols. The most common use of the protocols at this time are for Ethernet attachment of PLC’s, I/O modules, and ‘gateways’ to other simple field buses or I/O networks.
