[ Simplified configuration eliminates the need for analog I/O cards and tedious PLC programming ]

Analog I/O card not necessary

No additional equipment required
Forget about the tedious PLC programming that existing LVDT’s required, the GT2 Series does everything automatically. In
addition, the user can save money by eliminating the analog I/O card from the budget.

[ Easy to set up and saves space. ]

The air push type is part of the high-accuracy digital sensor GT2 Series.
A mechanism to move the sensor head is not necessary since it is possible to measure with a fixed sensor head,
saving space and reducing labor.

Up to 15 amplifier units can be connected; main unit: 1 unit, expansion unit: 14 units. To use the DIN-rail mount type, be sure to mount the amplifier unit to a DIN-rail (using the metal bracket). When
mounting additional units, be sure to use the end units (OP-26751). When mounting additional units, depending on the number of units to be added, confirm the following specification limitations.
<Up to 8 units (including main unit)> <Up to 9 to 15 units (including main unit)>
• The power supply voltage is 20 to 30 VDC. • The power supply voltage is 20 to 30 VDC.
• The maximum applicable current for each output is 20 mA. • The maximum applicable current for each output is 10 mA (including DL-RB1A output current).
• The residual voltage at ON Is 1.5 V or less.

❙ About accuracy of the high-accuracy type

When the high-accuracy type measures a distance between two
arbitrary points in the measuring range at an ambient temperature (20°C
(68°F)), the deviation from the actual value is 1 µm 0.04 Mil or less. For
example, when a measurement result is 11 mm 0.43", the actual value
is in a range of 10.999 to 11.001 mm 0.4330" to 0.4331". For several
measurements, variations in the measured value are 1 µm 0.04 Mil or
less.
