Product Introduction:
PlM10173888 (often written PIM10173888 or M10173888) is a legacy motion-control feedback or MMC (Motion Module Controller) sub-component supplied under Kollmorgen/Danaher for Giddings & Lewis systems. In many catalogs it appears as a single-turn/multi-turn absolute encoder kit or a memory/module chipset for servo commissioning.

Detailed content

Technical Specifications (encoder interpretation):
  • Resolution:​ 17-bit single-turn / 12-bit multi-turn (29-bit total) when configured as absolute encoder
  • Interface:​ BiSS-C standard, EnDat 2.2 optional
  • Supply:​ 5 VDC ±10 %
  • Output:​ Differential RS-422 style
  • Temperature Range:​ −40 °C to +100 °C
  • Sealing:​ IP65 at body
Functional Features:
  • No homing required after power loss
  • EMI-hardened differential lines
  • Integrated temperature sense
  • Plug-and-play motor ID on supported drives
Application Scenarios:
  • Retrofit of older Goldline/DBL servo axes
  • Giddings & Lewis CNC remanufacturing
  • Robotics and wafer-handling stages
Notes:
  • Confirm whether your unit is an encoder assembly or a control module before ordering—both exist under similar numbers
  • Mechanical keyway and flange must match motor shaft exactly
