3 Bus cover
– functional principle
The product family architecture is modular. Depending on what is required from the encoder, the basic
encoder and bus covers can be combined at will with the selected bus system.
The basic encoders differ in terms of accuracy, ambient conditions and the utilized sensing principle.
Bus cover
The bus cover accommodates the entire electronics for measured value processing and for Ethernet
communication.
The bus covers differ by the respectively integrated bus interface.
Available bus interfaces: CANopen®, DeviceNet, EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, Profibus-DP, Profinet, Powerlink,
Power over EtherCAT, SAE J1939, SSI.
All encoders enable parameterization by bus interface.
Functional principle:
