Dimensions and function
The BML BM2-N... is a magnetically encoded, non-contact
displacement and angle measuring system. It consists of a
sensor module and a measuring body or magnetic disk,
which are mounted at a defined distance from each other.
Depending on the design, there are two or three tracks of
alternating magnetic north and south poles on the
measuring body. There are two tracks of alternating
magnetic north and south poles on the magnetic disk.
Display elements
Depending on the variant, the sensor module is equipped
with a red LED that indicates whether an error is present.
Depending on the variant, the LED shows different
statuses.
