Intended Use
Absolute rotary encoders with IO-Link interface from the ENA***TL-**IO** product group offer
highly accurate detection of the rotation angle of the rotary encoder shaft using a magnetic
scanning principle. Multiturn absolute rotary encoders detect the number of revolutions of the
rotary encoder shaft. The electronics of the rotary encoder can determine various information
such as the direction of rotation, temperature, and position values, etc. This information is
transmitted as process data via IO-Link to an IO-Link master and further to a higher control
level.
Connect the rotary encoder to an IO-Link network and use it only in this way. Typical applica-
tions include positioning tasks and length measurement for areas like conveyor belts, cranes,
elevators, and wrapping machines. Read through this manual carefully. Familiarize yourself
with the device before installing, mounting, or operating.
Always operate the device as described in these instructions to ensure that the device and con-
nected systems function correctly. The protection of operating personnel and the plant is guar-
anteed only if the device is operated in accordance with its intended use.
Danger!
This symbol indicates an imminent danger.
Non-observance will result in personal injury or death.
Warning!
This symbol indicates a possible fault or danger.
Non-observance may cause personal injury or serious property damage.
Caution!
