PANASONIC HG-SC — Displacement Sensors
Panasonic HG-SC: contact-type digital displacement sensor controller, IP40.

Status: In production
Brand: Panasonic
Product: Contact-type digital displacement sensor controller
Series: HG-S
Protection: IP40 (IEC)
HG-SC is the controller family for Panasonic’s HG-S contact-type digital displacement sensor heads: the master unit (HG-SC101) and slave units (HG-SC111/112/113) connect side by side on a DIN rail; up to 15 slave units per master, measurements shown on the LCD with 0.1 μm display resolution, with analog current and three control outputs.
Control outputs: NPN / PNP open-collector, max. 50 mA. Analog current output: 4…20 mA. Supply: 24 V DC ±10 % including 0.5 V ripple (P-P). Degree of protection: IP40 (IEC). Ambient temperature: −10 to +50 °C (no condensation).
