1. OVERVIEW 1. OVERVIEW 1-1. Overview The AB932N module is an ABSOCODER converter for the TC-net I/O System of the Toshiba Corporation Unified Controller nv Series. Combine the module with a single-turn type ABSOCODER sensor to have the detected absolute position data converted into binary codes.
1. OVERVIEW 1-3. Terminology (1) ABSOCODER "ABSOCODER" is a generic name referring to the type of sensing device that detects rotational and linear displacement as well as speed and acceleration in an absolute format and outputs them digitally (or analogously). "ABSOCODER" comprises a detection unit that converts displacement into a variation in magnetic resistance and a conversion unit that inputs an alternating-current energization signal into the detection unit and then issues an absolute-format data according to the output signal returned from the detection unit.

APPENDIX APPENDIX 1. CE MARKING The AB932N module conforms to EMC directive. APPENDIX 1-1. EMC Directives It is necessary to do CE marking in the customer’s responsibility in the state of a final product. The customer should confirm EMC compliance of the machine and the entire device because EMC changes configuration of the control cabinet, wiring, and layout.
APPENDIX APPENDIX 1-4. Measures for EMC Compliance and Restriction In this section, restrictions are described for conforming the AB932N module to the EMC Directive. For conforming the Toshiba Corporation Unified Controller nv Series to the EMC Directive, contact Toshiba Corporation. ①Install the zippertubing around the cable when the sensor cable is used in 30m or more.
