Technical Frequently Asked Questions
What communication interface and data format does the M338 encoder use?
It uses an SSI serial interface with RS422 transmission standard and natural binary code. Data output is controlled by an external clock, and angular position is transmitted starting from the most significant bit (MSB). The maximum frequency is 500 kHz.
What rotation speed and IP rating options are available?
It offers 6000 rpm with IP64 in the standard version, 3000 rpm with IP66 protection (option Z with sealed bearings) and up to 12000 continuous rpm with IP53 (option B with low torque bearings).
What supply voltages does the M338 encoder support?
It is available with 5V ±5 %, 5÷30V and 10÷30V power supplies, with a maximum consumption of 35mA.
