EtherNet/IP Encoders

Kübler has expanded its industrial Ethernet encoder portfolio to include Ethernet/IP.

The optical absolute Singleturn and Multiturn Sendix F58 EtherNet/IP encoders, with a diameter of 58 mm, have been designed for time-critical applications. "In addition to supporting plant performance and availability, their specific features also contribute to save time and costs," said a company spokesperson.

Equipped with Safety-Lock bearing design, these encoders are designed to withstand installation errors, shocks and vibrations. "Position value transmission is five times faster than common market encoders, therefore ensuring more performance," said the spokesperson. Requested Packet Interval (RPI) time is only 1 ms. This feature allows operating this encoder in time-critical applications up to a 1,000 Hz update frequency. The short starting time is another feature of this encoder. It takes place after applying the supply voltage. Cyclic services allow fast and easy commissioning and configuration.

"Due to the implementation of Device Level Ring (DLR), a single cable break does not lead to plant stoppage. Ring redundancy is ensured," said the spokesperson.

These absolute singleturn and multiturn Sendix encoders are available in solid shaft or blind hollow shaft version. The blind hollow shaft has a diameter of 15 mm. The IP65 protection level and wide temperature range from -40 °C to +80 °C allow operation in harsh environmental conditions. "Due to their optical sensors, these devices are 100% insensitive to magnetic fields," said the spokesperson. Total resolution is 32 bits. The devices are ODVA-certified.

The Sendix F58 EtherNet/IP encoders are used in a variety of applications including: automotive production, logistics, metal processing, textile, printing and packaging machines.
