POSITAL-Fraba, a leading manufacturer of industrial automation solutions, has introduced significant upgrades to its UBIFAST configuration device, a tool designed to streamline the setup of its IXARC programmable encoders. The latest improvements include a built-in WiFi hotspot, web-based configuration interface, and cloud-enabled management system, offering greater flexibility for distributors, machine builders, and system integrators.
Key Features for Customization and Convenience
The enhanced UBIFAST allows users to reduce inventory costs by stocking a limited number of standard encoders and customizing them via software updates—eliminating the need for multiple hardware variants. Key functionalities include:
WiFi-enabled configuration: Users can connect via smartphone, tablet, or laptop to access the device’s web-based interface instantly.
Remote management: Changes are automatically registered with POSITAL through an email notification system.
Factory reset and multi-device cloning: Simplifies deployment and troubleshooting.
Linear-to-rotary parameter conversion: Enables quick adjustments for diverse applications.
Flexible Programming for Precision Control
The UBIFAST supports on-site customization, allowing adjustments to:
Rotation direction, zero-point setting, and output range (voltage or current).
Measurement range: Single-turn models (90°–360°) and multi-turn models (1–65,536 rotations).
Analog encoder limits: Operators can set mechanical motion boundaries directly via housing-mounted buttons, ensuring precise electrical output alignment.
Industry Impact
By integrating wireless connectivity and programmable adaptability, POSITAL-Fraba’s UBIFAST enhances efficiency in industrial automation, reducing downtime and hardware costs. The tool is ideal for environments requiring rapid deployment, from factories to field installations.
