lamaPLC: AS5600 Magnetic Induction Angle Measurement Sensor Module

AS5600 The AS5600 is a programmable, 12-bit high-resolution contactless magnetic rotary position sensor designed to replace traditional mechanical potentiometers. It uses Hall-effect technology to measure the absolute angle of a diametrically magnetized on-axis magnet, offering high reliability because there is no physical contact to wear out.

Key Features

  • Resolution: 12-bit digital output, providing 4,096 positions per full 360° rotation (approximately 0.087° per step).
  • Multiple Output Modes: Supports I²C digital interface, PWM, and ratiometric Analog voltage output.
  • Programmable Range: While the default is 0° to 360°, users can program a custom maximum angle from 18° to 360° to apply full resolution to a smaller range.
  • Direction Control: A dedicated DIR pin allows you to set whether the output value increases with clockwise or counterclockwise rotation.
  • Low Power: Features smart low-power modes that automatically reduce consumption, making it suitable for battery-powered devices.
