The new Kübler Sendix Profibus encoders, available from RET Automation, can be ordered either as singleturn with up to 16 bit resolution or multiturn with up to 28 bit resolution. All units offer up-to-the-minute fieldbus performance in the application thanks to the latest Profibus-DPV0 profile and enhanced programming possibilities. Encoder profiles Class 1 and Class 2 are supported.
These encoders are characterised by their particularly fast speed:
* Fast data availability with reduced loading on the bus and controller, together with intelligent functions for rapid position detection and data provision to the Profibus.
* Fast, simple, error-free connection, thanks to a bus terminal cover with optimised connection technology, including standard M12 connectors.
* Fast start-up, thanks to a predefined GSD file, three diagnostic LEDs and a SET-key, as well as the simple parameter assignment of rotation direction, preset value, diagnostic mode and a variety of scaling options for the number of steps per turn, the number of turns and the total resolution over singleturn/multiturn.
Galvanic isolation is provided by a DC/DC converter that is integrated in the bus stage.
In addition, the encoders boast:
* A high degree of robustness thanks to their rugged 'Safety-Lock Design' bearing construction and their sturdy die-cast housing,
* A high level of reliability thanks to the mechanical gear (in the multiturn version) as well as OptoASIC technology with very high integration density (Chip-on-Board).
The encoders are well-equipped to deal with outdoor installation, benefiting from an IP67 protection rating and a wide temperature range of -40°C to +80°C.
