Intelligent Encoder Configurator with Instant Recall



Wachendorff Automation offers its configurator for incremental and absolute rotary encoders.

The Wachendorff tool is intelligent, and can recall previous data. The programming holds a complete store of the combination of all the technical features and is capable of combining them (over 1.5 million possibilities), using an intelligent logic to manage them.

This intelligence and recall capability is designed to rule out errors during the configuration process.

Any devices that may be considered are identified after just a few entries. The Wachendorff configurator can generate a data sheet that is individually tailored to a configured rotary encoder.

Clicking a product type transfers selection criteria chosen in advance during pre-selection to the "product level" and therefore "remembers" them. The product page is developed individually for the user based on this data, offering them the possibility to continue configuring and/or generate an individual data sheet at any time.

Explanatory fields also offer effective electrical and mechanical information, enabling Wachendorff to offer the user the ability to put together a specific rotary encoder based on actual requests and requirements. The user benefits from the documentation, as for rotary encoders in particular there are very many interdependent factors in electrics and mechanics.

Exact rotary encoder types can be defined only with the help of expert knowledge. The data sheet "configured" by Wachendorff can be saved as a PDF document or printed out.

Another feature is that the particular status of the configuration can be documented in a PDF document at any time. "This is helpful, for example, if the user wants advice about a definition from colleagues or technical support at Wachendorff Automation," said the spokesperson.

The configurator is available as a new feature on Wachendorff Automation's website and in four different languages (German, English, French and Spanish).
