Product Short Description

Product Introduction

The ABB ACS-RTAC-01 is a dedicated pulse encoder interface module designed for ACS800 and DCS800 series drives. It enables precise speed and position feedback from incremental encoders to the drive, supporting high‑performance closed‑loop control. This module accepts both single‑ended and differential encoder signals, supplies power to the encoder, and processes pulse data with high accuracy and noise immunity. It is widely used in applications requiring tight speed regulation, positioning control, and high dynamic response.
