The VARILIMIT VS-10G Series is a family of electronic limit switches that replace these mechanical switches. An environment-tolerant position-sensing device “ABSOCODER” is fitted to the machine detection shaft. The VARILIMIT will be capable of providing switch outputs that accurately match the machine position by registering switch ON and OFF positions with simple and easy steps.
OVERVIEW OVERVIEW ●VS-10B Mode and Extended Mode The VS-10G Series provides the VS-10B Mode and the Extended Mode. You can specify which mode to use at a parameter. Specify the VS-10B Mode when it will be the replacement of the VS-10B Series. Specify the Extended Mode when the VS-10G Series is newly employed or its new functions will be newly added.
OVERVIEW OVERVIEW 1-2. Features (1) High reliability An absolute position detection format ensures accurate position detection even if a power interruption or unexpected noise condition occurs. An origin returning operation is not required. Applicable ABSOCODER: MRE, VLS-[ ]PW(PY), VRE, NT Coder (2) Superior durability ABSOCODER is not used electronic parts except coils and resistance, and it features a no-contact construction excepting bearing.

OVERVIEW OVERVIEW 1-4-2. Terminology and functions This section explains about product functions and the related terminology. Item Description "ABSOCODER" is a generic name referring to the type of sensing devices that detects rotational and linear displacement as well as speed and acceleration in an absolute format and outputs them digitally (or analogously). "ABSOCODER"...
Page 21
OVERVIEW OVERVIEW Item Description ●With the Linear-type ABSOCODER (VLS-[ ]PW, VLS-[ ]PY) In millimeters, the Scale Length should be set to the same value as the Absolute Detection Range value contained in the sensor model code. Example: In the case of VLS-512PW350B, "512" represents the Absolute Detection Range. If the number of decimals to be shown on the VARILIMIT display is set to two ("0.01 mm"), the Scale Length [L] should be set as follows: Absolute Detection Range...

OVERVIEW OVERVIEW Item Description "Minimum Current Position Value" is the smallest possible Current Position Value that can be displayed on the VARILIMIT and can be set to any given value in the range of [-999999 to (1000000 - Scale Length)]. Set the value using Parameter 98 (Minimum Current Position Value [K]).
Page 23
OVERVIEW OVERVIEW Item Description The Switch Output function works in the same way as outputs from a mechanical limit switch or proximity switch. With ON and OFF positions registered to the VARILIMIT, the switch output will come on or go off depending on the machine position detected by the ABSOCODER.
