Compact motor feedback system for highly dynamic servo drives
From a mechanical point of view, the EKS/EKM36 motor feedback system is based on the proven 36 mm design. This design is both compact and rugged, and has been proven many times over in a wide range of applications and surroundings. In combination with an absolute location indicator system with a resolution of up to 20 Bits per revolution and a maximum of 4,096 revolutions, this design is unique in its class.
Benefits
Saving all analog components on the controller part due to exclusively digital data transmission
Enormous cost saving as the separate encoder cable is longer necessary, data transmitted synchronously to the controller cycle
Minimal cabling thanks to integration of the encoder communication into the motor cable
Optimization of the controller circuit via automated synchronization with the controller cycle
Features
Motor feedback system with HIPERFACE DSL® interface
Compact, rugged design with 36 mm diameter
Up to 20 bit resolution per revolution and 4,096 revolutions measurable with the multiturn system
Facility for connecting an external temperature sensor
E²Prom with 8 KB of free memory space
SIL2-certified (only applies to EKS/EKM36-2...)
