SICK DLS40E-S3AV00360 Sensor
SICK DLS40E-S3AV00360 incremental encoder, part 1109594. Solid shaft, 360 ppr, six-channel TTL/RS-422 signals for cost-effective feedback.
Overview
The SICK DLS40E-S3AV00360 (part number 1109594) is an economical incremental rotary encoder of the DLS40 family with a solid shaft. It outputs six-channel signals in TTL/RS-422 level with 360 pulses per revolution per the order code, providing cost-effective feedback for standard drive and measurement tasks.
How It Works
Optical scanning produces incremental pulse trains including inverted channels and index, transmitted differentially via RS-422 for noise immunity. The controller counts pulses to derive speed and relative position, with the index channel supporting reference marking.
Key Features
- Six-channel incremental signals in TTL/RS-422 level

Frequently Asked Questions
Why six channels?
A, B and index signals each with inverted counterparts enable differential RS-422 transmission with high noise immunity.
What does S3AV00360 define?
Interface, shaft and the 360 pulses per revolution of this DLS40E variant.
Can the index channel be used for homing?
Yes, the index pulse supports repeatable referencing within a revolution.
