If these speed constraints are exceeded, the transducer will not be able to send all of the necessary
pulses to represent a given amount of position change within a single update cycle. Note, however, that
pulses are never “discarded”. The transducer will attempt to output the remaining pulses on the next
update cycle.
Speed Constraints
The absolute maximum traverse velocity for the sensing magnet is 10 meters per second or 400 inches
per second. However, due to the fixed frequency of of the A and B outputs, there are additional
restrictions on maximum traverse velocity. Use the following table to determine maximum allowable
traverse velocity.
