Programmable Rotary Encoder
April 1, 2016
Newall's new RPE-PV programmable rotary encoder features a dynamic encoder resolution capability that allows users to easily program the resolution anywhere between 1 and 10,000 counts per revolution. "Packaged as an industry standard 2.5 inch rotary encoder housing, the RPE-PV allows for virtually unlimited resolution variations," said a company spokesperson.
Users can produce a wide range of resolutions from one encoder and it can be reprogrammed as needed to change the resolution. The RPE-PV programs over its existing M18 connector. Using an M18-to-USB programming cable, simply plug the encoder directly into any PC. The programming software automatically detects the encoder. The user then types in the desired resolution and clicks the "program" button to finish.
"Equipment can often have many encoders with various resolutions providing feedback to the control system," said the spokesperson. "RPE-PV encoders can be kept on the shelf and programmed as needed. Users simply program the encoder for the appropriate resolution. This not only reduces machine downtime, but saves on inventory costs as well."
