SICK L230-P580C2S00000 Sensor
SICK L230-P580C2S00000 linear encoder, LinCoder family, part 1033532. Absolute HIPERFACE linear feedback for machine slides.
Overview
The SICK L230-P580C2S00000 (part number 1033532) is a linear encoder of the LinCoder L230 family. The compact reading head travels along a magnetic scale and provides absolute position values over the HIPERFACE interface, delivering precise linear feedback for machine slides and linear motor axes.
How It Works
The reading head senses the absolute magnetic code of the scale and reports the position directly, so the axis knows its exact location immediately after power-up without a reference run. The HIPERFACE interface transmits the absolute position plus incremental signals for high-resolution interpolation in the drive.
Key Features
- Absolute linear position without reference runs
- HIPERFACE interface for servo drive integration
- Part number 1033532
- Compact reading head for slim machine axes
- Magnetic scale robust to contamination
- High-resolution feedback for precise motion
Typical Applications
- Position feedback on linear motor axes
- Absolute measurement on machine slides
- Feedback on precision assembly and testing machines
- Positioning on printing and converting heads
- Axes where power-up reference runs are unwanted

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of HIPERFACE?
It combines absolute position with incremental interpolation, a proven standard on many servo drives.
Does it need a homing cycle?
No, the absolute scale reports position immediately at power-up.
What does P580 define?
The order code identifies the measuring length and scale configuration of this variant.
