1. General Description

 

The DFS60A-S4PC00S06 is a high-resolution, 60 mm incremental encoder from SICK. Its standout feature is its user-programmability, allowing the resolution (pulses per revolution), output signal level (TTL or HTL), and zero pulse position to be configured to match specific application requirements. Housed in a rugged metal casing with a solid shaft and servo flange, it is designed for reliable performance in a wide range of industrial automation tasks.

 

Key Features 🎯

 

• Fully Programmable: Resolution, output voltage (TTL/RS-422 or HTL), and zero pulse width/position can be set by the user with a programming tool.
• High Resolution: Can be programmed from 1 up to 65,536 pulses per revolution.
• Universal Voltage: A wide operating voltage range of 4.5V to 32V DC allows it to output either TTL (5V) or HTL (10-30V) level signals from the same device.
• Robust Mechanical Design: Features a durable aluminum housing and solid shaft, suitable for industrial environments.
• Flexible Mounting: Equipped with a standard servo flange for easy and precise installation.

3. Programmability

 

This encoder’s parameters can be configured using SICK’s programming tools (e.g., PGT-08-S or PGT-10-Pro) and software. The following can be adjusted:

• Pulses Per Revolution (PPR): Any integer value from 1 to 65,536.
• Output Signal Level: TTL (RS-422 compliant at 5V) or HTL (push-pull compliant at 10-30V).
• Zero Pulse (Z Channel): The width and position of the zero pulse can be set electronically
