Groundbreaking absolute encoder with minute disc
 
 


The singleturn SKS36 and multiturn SKM36 produce a Hiperface output which can be used in conjunction with any Hiperface enabled drive. Alternatively the Hiperface signals can be fed into an adapter which takes the Hiperface signals and produces an SSI / Profibus / DeviceNet / CANopen output if the encoder is to be used with a PLC system.




MECHANICAL FEATURES/BENEFITS
• Compact 40mm dia. housing – enabling installation in applications with limited space.

• Wide operating temperature range -20 to + 100 deg C – suitable for use in extreme environments such as applications where hot metal is processed.
• Amazingly high resistance to shock, 100g/6ms and vibration 50g/10 – 2000Hz due to MiniDisc technology – for harsh industrial applications such as forging presses.

• Multiturn information (SKM36 only) formed using gearing system and additional magnetic stages – maximum reliability of multiturn information i.e.no battery buffered memory.
ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATION
Hiperface output (direct from encoder)

• 128 Sine/Cosine periods per turn – via Sin/Cos output lines.

• 4096 steps/turn x 4096 turns* absolute – via RS485 in/out lines.

• 7-12V dc.

• Position set via RS485 in/out lines – encoder can be set to any position during commissioning.
SSI output (when Hiperface to SSI adapter is used - see photo to right)

• 4096 steps/turn x 4096* turns absolute – via SSI interface.

• Zero set and setting of counting direction – via dip switches on adapter.

• 10-32V dc – adapter (adapter generates 7-12V for encoder)

Profibus/DeviceNet/CANopen output (when Hipeface to Bus adapter used, see photo above)

• 1-32768 steps/turn x 1-4096* turns absolute programmable - via Bus interface.

• Position set via bus interface - encoder can be set to any position during commissioning.

• Speed and acceleration information – via bus interface.

• Address setting via dip switches on adapter.

• 10-32V dc – adapter (adapter generates 7-12V for encoder)


* Multiturn (SKM36) variant only
