Analog position feedback where the voltage is proportional to the distance traveled. Typically found on linear actuators with the signal coming from a potentiometer. -10V indicates full retraction and +10V is full extension. 0 to 10V is also common.
Benefits
- Inexpensive low-end type of feedback
- Key benefit is the feedback is absolute - no homing routine is required to operate so it is ready on start up
ADVANCED Motion Controls' Capabilities
- Most DigiFlex® Performance™ servo drives can be configured to operate with ±10 VDC Position feedback
