THE CONVENIENT AND CLEAR DEVICE THAT DOES IT ALL
The PGT-08-S is a computer-based programming unit for all programmable incremental and SSI
absolute encoders. Its versatility makes it a convenient option, even for machine facilities.
At a glance
• Programming unit with SOPAS
software for commercially available
computers
• Clear graphical user interface for
simple operation
• Programming settings can be saved
and loaded
• Can be updated for future products
and programming functions by per-
forming a software update
• Modular product concept consisting
of programming unit, adapter cables
and software
• Connection to the encoders using
encoder-specic adapter cables
Your benets
• Free driver and software updates via
SOPAS
• Graphical user interface clearly dis-
played on the computer monitor and
ergonomic operation using mouse
and keyboard
• Programming settings can be saved
and loaded to/from the computer
memory, which enables fast duplica-
tion and traceability
• Encoder position information via the
display enables diagnosis without
disassembly
• Programming lowers storage costs
due to reduced variant diversity
Fields of application
• Ideal for device manufacturers,
development divisions, small batch
series, prototype construction, and
distribution
