Whereas the AP04 is mounted onto a spindle in order to measure position values, its new sister product, the AP04S, has external sensor electronics. Use of a magnetic sensor and magnetic band now also makes it possible for linear adjustments positioned without spindles to be integrated in monitored format change.<\/p>\n<p>With machine changeovers, a new target value is transmitted to the AP04S via bus communication. This value is displayed in the indicator&#8217;s two-line LCD and compared with the current value. The machine operator can then see at a glance which change needs to be made at the individual positioning unit.  This is additionally supported by a two-color LED which signalizes variance or conformity between the target value and the current value. The correct format adjustment is then reported back to the system control via the bus-interface. This makes time loss or tool damage due to false settings a thing of the past.<\/p>\n<p>The AP04S and AP04 are connected to the PLC via the same communication protocol and an RS485 interface.
