Product Description

Single and multiturn encoders with fieldbus

The absolute encoders series MEM-Bus avail on an interface to connect to field bus systems according to the CANopen standard.
MEM-Bus encoders can be supplied both in single and in multiturn version: the singleturn encoder resolution is 13 bit, while for the multiturn type the resolution value is 29 bit (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 cables: output options: two or three cable glands or three M12 connectors.

The encoder MEM520B can be coupled to WPS or WDS wire mechanic to obtain a wire encoder with strokes ranging from 2.3 to 15 metres and CANopen connection protocol.

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 a long life.
