Precise Absolute Position Detection
The Pepperl+Fuchs WCS position encoding system has been on the market since 1989 and has been continuously developed and optimized through countless projects. It enables reliable position detection even with curved tracks, inclines, declines, interruptions, or switches.
Flexible Integration
The position value can be transmitted directly from the read head to the controller via a number of integrated interfaces, such as RS-485, SSI, CANopen, PROFINET, or Ethernet. A wide range of interface modules are available for connection to other fieldbus interfaces.
Rugged Design
Due to its U-shaped design, the WCS is resistant to ambient light and can even read dirty code rails with its powerful LEDs. Non-contact photoelectric scanning protects the WCS from wear and tear, and the Outdoor option offers protection up to IP69.
Simple Setup
The WCS Outdoor version features a translucent housing that offers good visibility of the indicator LED and display. This allows position information or error messages to be read quickly and easily.
Due to its modular design, the path coding system can be adapted to any application or environmental situation. It always consists of a read head, a code rail and the appropriate mounting system. The read head is available with various options, such as the WCS Outdoor option for harsh environments or the WCS Extended option for particularly long distances, which can also be combined with one another. If the read head and code rail are selected, three different mounting systems are available.
