Absolute Encoder MEM-Bus EtherCAT
Multiturn encoders with EtherCAT interface – UL Listed - 8192 steps/revol. – 29 bit resolution - different mechanical versions available
Absolute encoders MEM-BUS EtherCAT comply with Profile CANopen over EtherCAT (CoE), Cia DS-406. They avail on EtherCAT conformance certification and are UL Listed for the canadian and US market.
Based upon Ethernet communication protocol, EtherCAT interface is steady, flexible and fast, specially suited to the communication among control systems and peripheral devices, such as I/O systems, drives, sensors and actuators.
EtherCAT operating principle – processing on the fly – enables a Real Time communication between the Master and the Slave devices; it supports any topology – line, bus, tree, star – and a flexible number of nodes.
Reduced cabling and easy configuration – each slave is addressed automatically – simplify the installing operations.
MEM-Bus encoders are supplied in multiturn version with 29 bit resolution (8192 steps/revolution x 65536 revolutions).
Different mechanical versions are available to satisfy all application requirements: square flanged, round flanged with servo coupling, and with hollow shaft to couple directly to a motor shaft; all the types offer different options for the shaft/hole diameter. The electrical connection is by 3 M12 connectors.
The stout aluminium case ensures a high protection degree, so that it is possible to apply MEM-Bus encoders in severe industrial environments.
The innovative electronic construction technology – involving no mechanical gear –allows to reach high acceleration and speed values and grants the transducer long life.
