… with modular fieldbus interface:
A newcomer in the broad modular encoder program by Baumer IVO: An especially compact absolute hollow shaft encoder that as basic device can be “topped” with several modular bus covers. This results in simplified wiring work, improved flexibility and reduced stocks since the modular bus cover is simply docked to the basic encoder. It is a considerable benefit also regarding cost-effective maintenance because encoder and bus electronics can be exchanged independently from each other. Encoder and bus cover provide several diagnostic functions for preventive maintenance actions resulting in increased machine performance. The user can choose between bus covers with CANopen, DeviceNet, EtherCat and Profibus interface as well as between several mounting options. The new multivo encoders are available with maximum 14 mm hollow shaft and also in stainless steel designs. Singleturn resolution is 13 bit, for multiturn operation 16 bit.
