Once upon a time, "cherries freedom" and "sour pepper freedom" became the folk indicators used by ordinary people to measure the quality of their lives. In the Chinese automation industry, there is a kind of "freedom" that worries equipment manufacturers more than "cherries freedom" - the freedom of absolute value encoders. The reason is simple: it's too expensive.

The absolute value encoder, with its advantages such as power-off memory, ready-to-use upon power-on, and high safety and reliability, has long been defined as a standard feature for high-end equipment. However, along with this, comes a daunting price tag. Many equipment manufacturers do not want absolute values, but they cannot afford them. Eventually, they have to settle for the second-best option, choosing incremental encoders and enduring the efficiency loss of having to zero-find each time upon power-on, or being forced to raise the overall machine price to absorb the costs in certain high-end application scenarios.

This choice that has plagued the industry for many years now has a new answer. The FMG128 absolute value magnetic scale encoder system launched by Tianxian Digital Intelligence/Magnetic Zheng Intelligent is quietly rewriting the rules of the game. It possesses all the core performance of an absolute value encoder - outputting absolute position within 350 milliseconds upon power-on, FPGA hardware acceleration, AI dynamic verification, segmented temperature compensation, non-contact measurement, strong electromagnetic compatibility... But its pricing actively aligns with the range of mid-to-high-end incremental encoders.

In the industry, some people joke that this is a "code encoder without rules" - it has an absolute-thinking brain but only takes incremental payments. Globally, brands from Europe, America, and Japan have long dominated the high-end encoder market, keeping the pricing power in their hands, and the supply chain risks have never truly been eliminated. In China, automation equipment manufacturers are facing unprecedented double pressure: customers demand that the performance align with international first-tier standards, but their own gross profit margins are continuously shrinking. Under such circumstances, who can provide a localized solution that "does not compromise on performance and is cost-effective"? Who will be the true breakthrougher in the domestic substitution wave?

FMG128 precisely strikes at this juncture. From the technical path perspective, it does not simply rely on overseas general chip solutions, but takes a more solid and independent route. The core components achieve independent wafer fabrication, which is itself a commitment to the security of customer delivery in the current context of uncertain global semiconductor supply chains. The FPGA hardware acceleration algorithm ensures real-time computing capabilities in high-speed motion scenarios; segmented temperature compensation and automatic gain bias control solve the major problems in industrial sites; the addition of AI deep training and dynamic verification make the encoder possess self-optimization capabilities in long-term operation - this is no longer a passive feedback component, but an intelligent node with learning ability.

From a commercial perspective, FMG128 brings not only technological upgrades but also a clear economic benefit. Some customers have calculated that compared to the imported absolute value encoder solution, using FMG128 can save more than 30% of the feedback system costs. This means that a device that was originally limited by cost and could only be equipped with incremental type equipment can now be upgraded without any pressure to use absolute value feedback; an originally high-priced high-end equipment now has a more generous profit margin.

Linear motor modules, screw drive modules, industrial robots, semiconductor equipment, laser processing, new energy equipment, machine tool equipment... Any field that has high requirements for position feedback and is sensitive to cost can be a battlefield for FMG128. Especially at a time when domestic substitution is moving from "empty slogans" to "actual actions", more and more equipment manufacturers are actively seeking core components with excellent performance, controllable supply chain, and reasonable prices. The emergence of FMG128 is equivalent to lowering the entry threshold of absolute value encoders from "high-end dedicated" to "standard optional" level.



Absolute value freedom sounds like a joke, but Tianxian Dizhi made it a reality. As a leading enterprise in the domestic magnetic sensor field with over a decade of deep research, Tianxian Dizhi and Magzhi Intelligent have set their mission as "helping Chinese manufacturing to step onto the world stage". When this statement is applied to the FMG128, it means a very practical matter: preventing Chinese equipment from breaking down in the core feedback环节， and also preventing enterprises from sacrificing profits to pursue performance. The next breakthrough for domestic substitution may start from many places. But at least for the encoder subfield， it has already begun with a simple goal - enabling every automation equipment manufacturer to achieve "absolute value encoder freedom".
