Absolute encoders deliver an absolute step value for each angle setting. All these values are represented by code samples on one or more code disks which are sampled by a photoelectric array.The absolute encoder has a maximum basic resolution of 65536 steps per revolution (16 Bits).In the multiturn design, additional up to 16384 revolutions (14 Bits) can be resolved.This results in a total maximum resolution of 1073741824 steps (30 Bits).The encoders integrated CAN bus interface supports all CANopen functions.The following operating modes can be programmed, and can be selectively turned on or off:
Polled mode
Cyclic mode
Sync mode
The absolute encoder is mounted directly onto the application shaft, without any coupling.Rotation of the encoder is prevented by a torque rest.The bus electronics module is integrated into the removable housing cover.This makes it possible to mount or replace the encoder and the bus electronics separately during installation or service.
