A/990FD Absolute Fieldbus Encoder
- Manufacturer: ELCIS Encoder
- Category: Encoder, Absolute Encoder, Absolute Encoder Fieldbus, SENSORS
Absolute encoder of extremely robust construction, with hollow shaft and patented internal star coupling (like mod. 72), high axial compensation, with DeviceNet interface and high resolution.
The A/990FD is a single-turn or multi-turn absolute encoder with a DeviceNet (D2) interface, CAN transceiver (ISO 11898), and programmable baud rate. 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, and two LEDs indicate the status.
Constructed with an aluminum housing and a hollow stainless steel shaft of Ø10 H7 (optional Ø9.52, Ø8, Ø6 or others upon request), it supports radial and axial loads of 70 and 110 N. It features IP65 protection on the shaft side (IP66 in the sealed version), withstands impacts of 30 G and vibrations of 10 G, and operates from -40 to +85 °C. Available in guemisa.es.
- Hollow shaft with internal star coupling and max. compensation of ±3 mm axial, ±0.05 mm radial and ±2° angular.
- Interface DeviceNet with CAN transceiver (ISO 11898) and programmable transmission speed.
- Resolution of up to 16 bit per turn and 30 bit in 16384 turns.
- Transmission modes: polled mode, cyclic mode or cos mode, and 2 LED of state.
