The RIMSSW from Dynapar is a signal switcher module designed for encoder systems. Although this product has been discontinued. The RIMSSW (Rotary Incremental Module Signal Switcher) allows users to switch between two encoder inputs, providing redundancy and backup in motion control systems. It’s especially useful in applications where continuous operation is critical.
