6. Selection Recommendations

• Compatibility: Ensure the module’s input/output signals match your control system’s requirements (e.g., analog vs. digital, voltage/current ranges).
• Environmental Conditions: Verify the operating temperature, humidity, and protection class to suit your installation environment (e.g., indoor vs. outdoor, high-dust areas).
• Control Precision Needs: If your application requires sub-1% accuracy for hydraulic positioning, this module’s ±0.5% precision makes it an excellent fit.
• System Integration: Prioritize compatibility with your existing automation architecture, especially if using REXROTH components, to leverage seamless communication and simplified programming.

7. Precautions

• Electrical Safety: Disconnect power before installing or servicing the module to prevent electric shock or damage.
• Cable Installation: Use shielded cables for signal connections to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI), especially in high-power environments.
• Calibration: Perform initial calibration using the manufacturer’s software to match your specific hydraulic system parameters.
• Regular Maintenance: Periodically check for loose connections, temperature fluctuations, and software updates to maintain peak performance.
• Environmental Protection: If used in dusty or humid environments, consider additional enclosures to meet IP65 or higher protection standards, even though the module itself is rated IP20.
