High-resolution Profinet absolute encoders

TURCK is expanding its encoder portfolio to include encoders with a Profinet interface for real-time applications, especially in the areas of logistics, food & beverage and mechanical engineering. The encoders in the REM (multiturn) and RES (singleturn) product series use the current Profinet encoder profile (version 4.2) and offer resolutions of 19 bit for the singleturn and up to 24 bit for the multiturn devices. All encoders support Profinet features such as Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP), Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).  

Real-time functionality  

With the isochronous real-time mode (IRT) and minimum clock cycles of up to 250 microseconds, the encoders ensure precise and virtually instantaneous communication, even in highly dynamic applications. Thanks to their exceptional precision, the encoders enable highly accurate positioning and speed control, as is required for multi-axis positioning, for example.

Flexible configuration and easy integration  

The Profinet encoders are available with a solid shaft or a hollow shaft and offer a wide range of configuration options. With different shaft diameters and receptacle types, they can be optimally matched to the specific requirements of each application. Simple integration into Profinet networks enables fast commissioning and configuration.
