Siemens Absolute Encoder Singleturn | DRIVE-CLiQ | 24-bit | 6FX2001-5FD13-1AA0

Q: What is the difference between this and an incremental encoder?A: An incremental encoder only tells you how much the shaft has moved. This Absolute Encoder knows exactly where the shaft is at all times, even if the power was turned off and the shaft was moved.

Q: Can I use this with a standard PLC?A: This encoder is designed specifically for Siemens systems using DRIVE-CLiQ (like SINAMICS S120). For a standard PLC, you would typically need a Profinet or SSI version.

Q: Is the cable included?A: No, the DRIVE-CLiQ motion-connect cable must be ordered separately based on the length required for your cabinet.
