Absolute rotary encoder with fieldbus interface
CANopen, PROFIBUS, IP64 | MEM-BUS series ELAP

The absolute encoders series MEM-Bus avail on an interface to connect to field bus systems according to the CANopen or PROFIBUS standard.
MEM-Bus encoders can be supplied both in single and in multiturn version: the singleturn encoder resolution is 13 bit, while for the multiturn type the resolution value is 29 bit (8192 steps/revolution x 65536 revolutions).

Different mechanical versions are available to satisfy all application requirements: square flanged, round flanged with servo coupling, and with hollow shaft to couple directly to a motor shaft. All the types offer different options for the shaft/hole diameter; the electrical connection is by cables: two or three cable glands option is available.

The stout aluminium case ensures a high protection degree, so that it is possible to apply MEM-Bus encoders in severe industrial environments.

The innovative electronic construction technology - involving no mechanical gear -allows to reach high acceleration and speed values and grants the transducer a long life.
