Intelligent incremental encoders from ifm. The first with display and IO-Link.

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document introduces intelligent incremental encoders from ifm, featuring a display and IO-Link communication. These encoders combine the precision of optical systems with the robustness of magnetic systems, offering flexibility, universality, multifunctionality, and intuitive operation.

Specifications: The encoders have a programmable resolution ranging from 2 to 10,000 pulses per revolution and signal levels (TTL/HTL). They operate within a voltage range of 4.5 to 30 V DC and include integrated signal evaluation for rotational speed and direction monitoring, as well as a counter function.

Features: The encoders are equipped with a two-colour display (red/green) for process value indication, which can be rotated electronically by 180 degrees for flexible installation. They are powered by a 32-bit microprocessor, ensuring precision and dynamic range comparable to optical encoders.

Communication: All encoders support parameter setting via IO-Link, facilitating the transmission of process and diagnostic data, enhancing transparency and operational reliability, and aligning with Industry 4.0 standards.

Product Variants: The document lists various models, including hollow shaft and solid shaft designs, with options for direct M12 connections or cables. The BasicLine offers a basic version without a display, while the PerformanceLine includes a 4-digit display and integrated pulse evaluation.

Applications: These encoders are suitable for industrial applications, providing a clear overview of functions and parameters via pushbuttons and LED display. They are designed to reduce the burden on controllers by integrating essential pulse evaluation functions.

Communication via IO-Link All new encoders allow parameter setting via IO-Link. The transmission of process and diagnostic data creates transparency and increases the operational reliability. These options of communication ensure that the units are more than fit for Industry 4.0. Without compromise: The precision of optical encoders and the robustness of magnetic systems combined in one unit. Flexible: The resolution (2…10,000) and the signal level (TTL / HTL) are programmable. Universal: Only one voltage range from 4.5…30 V DC. Multifunctional: Integrated signal evaluation for rotational speed...
