A860-2000-T351 Fanuc Absolute Pulse coder Alpha 1000iA IP65

An "absolute" encoder maintains position information when power is removed from the system. The position of the encoder is available immediately on applying power. The relationship between the encoder value and the physical position of the controlled machinery is set at assembly; the system does not need to return to a calibration point to maintain position accuracy. An "incremental" encoder accurately records changes in position, but does not power up with a fixed relation between encoder state and physical position. Fanuc Absolute Pulse coder A860-2000-T351.
