PROFINET Bus Multi-Turn Absolute Encoder

Product features:

This encoder’s key feature is its compliance with PROFINET IO V2.3 standards, enabling seamless integration with Industry 4.0 smart factory systems and supporting real-time data transmission up to 100Mbps. It includes PROFIenergy energy-saving features, reducing power consumption during idle periods and supporting sustainable manufacturing practices. The battery-free multi-turn design uses a precision mechanical gear train to store rotation data, eliminating the need for battery replacement and reducing maintenance costs over the encoder’s lifespan. Dual solid/hollow shaft options provide flexible installation, allowing integration into both new and legacy machinery without modifications. Advanced diagnostic features enable remote monitoring of encoder health, including temperature, vibration, and signal quality, allowing predictive maintenance to prevent unplanned downtime. With ±0.04° accuracy and ≤0.8μs response time, it delivers real-time, high-precision position data to control robotic arms, conveyor belts, and packaging equipment in smart factories. The IP67 protection class ensures durability in dusty and wet production environments.

Product specifications:

This PROFINET encoder features a 90mm diameter anodized cast aluminum housing, weighing 950g for stable mounting in production lines. It offers both 10mm solid and hollow shaft options, with a maximum rotational speed of 8,000 RPM to support high-speed production applications. Its 24-bit resolution provides 4096 multi-turn counts and 4096 single-turn counts, delivering ultra-fine precision for robotic and automated assembly tasks. The operating temperature range of -30°C to +80°C ensures consistent performance in both cold storage and high-temperature production environments. Supply voltage ranges from 18V to 30V DC, compatible with most industrial power systems. Compliance with CE and PROFINET Conformance standards guarantees adherence to global industrial regulations. The encoder supports IO-Link diagnostics, enabling remote configuration and calibration without physical access to production lines.
