Absolute rotary encoders output a uniquely coded position value for each position. This means that no reference runs are required—neither when the machine is switched on nor after a supply voltage failure.
With singleturn absolute rotary encoders, one complete revolution of the drive shaft is divided into a maximum of 65,536 measuring steps (16 bits). After each full revolution, the coding starts again at its start value. Pepperl+Fuchs offers a comprehensive portfolio of singleturn absolute rotary encoders to meet a wide range of requirements.
For easy integration, Pepperl+Fuchs absolute rotary encoders are available with all common interfaces:
- PROFINET IO
