Drive technology synchronization

Reduced storage and startup costs

• Differing requirements parameterizable with only one rotary encoder variant from 1 ... 65536 pulses/revolution
• Shorter startup times by simple reparameterization of the encoders on site with handheld programming tool
• All commonly used mechanical interfaces available

High operational reliability

• Immune to shock and vibration thanks to high integration density
• New optical sensor technology offers high signal and control performance

High system performance

• Synchronization of various machine modules with only rotary encoder and up to 5 precision incremental outputs of varying resolution
• High precision position and trigger signals with integrated error compensation and filtering of machine vibration
• Adjustable signal resolution for flexible adaptation to machine configuration
• Functionally reliable incremental signal for efficient setup
• Synchronous position output with ultra low jitter in ± 0.6 μs range with Powerlink
• Freely selectable position resolution without conversion in the PLC and Powerlink cross-traffic for ultra-precise synchronization of various axes

High operational reliability

• Safety first – safe incremental rotary encoders with SIL2
• Reliable speed with standard square-wave signals simply integrated in existing architectures
• Simpler verification of safety functions thanks to certified conformity (IEC 61508)
• Long service life of rotary encoders ensured by statistical process checks and automated final inspections
• Absolute rotary encoder with 18 bit resolution and a repeat accuracy of ± 0.1 °
