Until the end of the year, ZTF Lāsma offers -30% discount on programming equipment for SICK programmable encoders. The promotion applies to programming devices and adapter cables that help quickly configure SICK encoders, reduce the risk of downtime, and simplify service work in the production environment.
SICK programmable encoders allow device settings to be changed quickly, so one model can replace several other encoders. This helps reduce the number of spare parts in stock and save costs. Such encoders are especially suitable for dynamic production, where fast replacement, adaptation, and returning equipment to operation as quickly as possible are important.
Using SICK programming devices, it is possible to adjust the most important encoder parameters for a specific machine or automation system:
pulse count — from 1 to 10 000 pulses per revolution;
output signal type — TTL or HTL electrical interface;
zero pulse width — 90° or 180°;
direction of rotation — clockwise or counterclockwise.
This means that one programmable encoder can be quickly adapted to different machines, without ordering a separate model with fixed parameters for each case.

SICK PGT-10-Pro is a lightweight and compact portable programming device for setting SICK programmable incremental and absolute encoders. Since the device has a built-in power supply, no computer or additional software is required for operation. This makes the PGT-10-Pro especially convenient for service and maintenance work directly at the machine.
The PGT-10-Pro operates on 4 standard AA batteries, so it can also be used on sites where access to a computer or power supply is not convenient. The device has a four-line backlit display and four control buttons, which make work easier even in situations where configuration must be performed quickly.
One of the key advantages is the cloning function — it allows the settings of one encoder to be saved and copied to other encoders. This helps save time, reduce the likelihood of errors, and restore machine operation faster. Configuration files can be saved in the device’s internal memory or on an SD card.

SICK PGT-08-S is a compact USB programming tool for configuring SICK programmable encoders. It acts as a connection between the encoder and the computer, allowing parameters to be adjusted more conveniently to the specific requirements of the machine.
The PGT-08-S does not require external power — the device operates from the computer’s USB port. Configuration is carried out using the free SICK software SOPAS ET , where encoder parameters can be viewed and signal operation can be checked in real time.
The software also allows importing and exporting encoder settings in .txt or .sopas file formats. This is useful when identical settings need to be transferred to multiple devices or a configuration backup needs to be stored.
The SICK PGT-10-Pro and PGT-08-S programming devices are intended for a wide range of SICK encoders, including:
DFS60 and DFV60 incremental encoders;
AFS/AFM60 SSI absolute encoders;
AHS/AHM36 SSI compact absolute encoders;
draw-wire encoders using DFS60, AFS/AFM60 or AHS/AHM36 models.
Before ordering, it is recommended to check the specific encoder model and connection type in order to choose the correct programmer and adapter cable.
To physically connect the encoder to PGT-10-Pro or PGT-08-S , an appropriate adapter cable is required. The choice depends on which connector the specific encoder has — M12 or M23.
Two adapter cables are included in the promotion:
SICK DSL-2D08-G0M5AC3 — adapter cable for M12 connection;
SICK DSL-3D08-G0M5AC3 — adapter cable for M23 connection.
The correct cable ensures a quick and secure connection between the programmer and the encoder, so before ordering it is important to check the connector type of the existing device.

A programmable encoder together with a suitable programmer allows production equipment to be maintained more flexibly. If an encoder needs to be replaced, the parameters can be quickly adjusted to the required machine without waiting for a specific model with factory-set parameters.

This helps:
reduce the number of spare parts in stock;
resolve downtimes faster;
simplify service and maintenance work;
reduce the risk of errors during configuration;
maintain multiple machines with different requirements more efficiently.
Until the end of the year, a -30% discount.
