A/963P Absolute Fieldbus Encoder
- Manufacturer: ELCIS Encoder
- Category: Encoder, Absolute Encoder, Absolute Encoder Fieldbus, SENSORS
In industrial environments that require a compact absolute encoder in a PROFIBUS-DP network, the A/963P is mounted with a standard metal housing and square flange, and offers high resolution with a very good price/performance ratio.
The A/963P is a single-turn or multi-turn absolute encoder with a PROFIBUS-DP Class 2 interface and RS485 line driver, with a transmission speed of up to 12 MBaud. It allows selection of 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768, or 65536 steps per revolution and 1, 4096, or 16384 revolutions, with a maximum of 30 bits in binary code. The address is programmed using selectors on the terminal box, and two LEDs indicate the status.
Constructed with an aluminum housing and a 63 mm square flange, with a Ø10 h8 stainless steel shaft, it supports radial and axial loads of 40 and 110 N. It features IP64 protection on the shaft side (IP66 in the sealed version), withstands 30 G impacts and 10 G vibrations, and operates from -40 to +85 °C. Available in guemisa.es.
- Interface PROFIBUS-DP Class 2 with RS485 line driver up to 12 MBaud.
- Resolution of up to 16 bit per turn and 30 bit in 16384 turns.
- Programmable steering with selectors and 2 LED of state.
- Nutrition 10–30 V DC with maximum consumption of 2.5 W.
