Magnetostrictive position measuring system with Profinet

The distance is measured by several position encoders installed along the crane's path, the position of which is read by a magnetostrictive sensor mounted on the crane and transmitted to the controller. The absolute coordinates of the crane position are calculated with high accuracy from the positions read

With the software function module, the system can be easily integrated into the control; the data is also visualized using software contained in the system.
