Compact Profibus Angular Encoder Fits Easily into Space Restricted Automated Equipment

Baumer Electric has introduced the new MagRes Profibus, a highly compact, self contained absolute multi-turn encoder designed to fit easily into space restricted environments. The encoder’s high density housing features two M12 input and output plugs for easy, wiring-free integration into Profibus-DP systems. Designed to monitor and control position or speed, the MagRes Profibus offers 13 bit resolution in single-turn and 16 bit resolution in multi-turn versions. Simply installed using compatible connectors, the MagRes Profibus encoder allows the bus address to be conveniently set using rotary switches, although an integrated terminal resistor can be installed. LED indicators display the status of the encoder and the network communications. Sized at just 58 mm in diameter and 42 mm deep, this compact sensor fits easily into the smallest automated environments. The MagRes Profibus encoder is highly reliable over its long service life, requiring virtually no maintenance.• sensing method magnetic • repeat accuracy < 0,3 ° • max. error limit -1 ... 1 ° • steps per turn 8192 / 13 Bit • Number of turns 65536 / 16 Bit • interface Profibus-DP • allowable el. rot. speed < 6000 rev/min • shaft type shaft • shaft diameter 10 mm • housing diameter 58 mm • flange clamping • mounting depth 42,5 mm • housing/flange material aluminum / aluminum • mech. rotational speed < 12000 rev/min • protection class shaft IP 65 • protection class housing IP 65
