Features
Direct Connection to High-Speed EtherCAT [SC-HG1-ETC]
Acquires various numeric data from thru-beam type digital displacement sensor HG-T series and contact-type digital displacement sensor HG-S series and allows change of their settings.
- Connects HG-T / HG-S series digital displacement sensors directly to EtherCAT!
- Enables change of various settings all at once.
- Allows switching of controller’s internal banks.
- Obtains high-accuracy measurement data without a program.

Direct transfer of high-precision measurement values in the order of 0.1 μm 0.004 mil [SC-HG1-C]
Direct connection to CC-Link
Program-less transmission of high-precision data
Batch change of internal settings via CC-Link
CC-Link Communication Unit SC-HG1-C
* When connected to a communication unit for digital displacement sensor, up to 14 slave units can be connected per master unit
For use of high-precision measurement results as traceability data [SC-HG1-485]
Transfers not only measurements results obtained at multiple points but also setting statuses as digital data in a batch!
Provides powerful support to the management of inspection records and identification of failure causes.
* When connected to a communication unit for digital displacement sensor, up to 14 slave units can be connected per master unit.
USB-based PC setting software
HG-T Configuration Tool
When the USB-based PC setting software, “HG-T Configuration Tool,” is used together with the USB communication unit SC-HG1-USB or RS-485 communication unit SC-HG1-485, current values and settings in the HG-T series can be confirmed and changed using a PC.
