AUTONICS
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about AUTONICS from 3G Electric.
What is the accuracy of Autonics panel meters like the MT4N series?
Autonics MT4N series digital panel meters have an accuracy of ±0.3% of reading ±3 digits. This applies to AC voltage measurement models such as the MT4N-AV-E0. The meters use true RMS calculation for accurate readings of non-sinusoidal waveforms. The display span ranges from -1,999 to 9,999, and they include RS-485 communication for data integration.
What input voltage options are available for Autonics tachometers?
Autonics tachometers are available with different input voltage options depending on the model. The MP5Y-4N operates on 100–240 V AC, suitable for line-powered installations. The LR5N-B pulse meter runs on 3 V DC, making it appropriate for low-voltage or battery-backed systems. Both models measure RPM with accuracies of 0.05% and 0.1% of reading, respectively.
Can Autonics stepper motor controllers be used with any driver?
Autonics stepper motor controllers, such as the PMC-2HS-USB, are designed for use with specific Autonics stepper motor drivers. The controller requires a compatible driver like the MD5-HF28 (five-phase) or MD2U-MD20 (two-phase). Using mismatched drivers may result in improper operation or damage. Always verify compatibility with the manufacturer's specifications.
What output types are available for Autonics encoder wheels?
Autonics encoder wheels, such as the ENC-1-5-N-24-C, feature NPN open collector outputs. This output type is common in industrial environments for interfacing with PLCs and counters. The encoder wheel has a 228.6 mm overall diameter and rear cable entry. Other output types may be available in different models; check the specific part number for details.
What is the display span of Autonics digital panel meters?
Autonics digital panel meters, including the MT4N and MT4W series, have a display span of -1,999 to 9,999. This range allows measurement of both positive and negative values, such as AC voltage. The meters use red LCD screens for readability. The accuracy is ±0.3% of reading ±3 digits, and they include RS-485 communication for remote monitoring.
