Rotary Encoder
HS35, HS25, H25, H20 Compatible Encoders
 |
Industrial Encoder Corporation’s new product line responds to customers that have requested an expansion of the product line to provide North American sized encoders. The new products incorporate design features of IEC’s standard encoders which have earned wide respect in the industry. IEC’s encoders always use unbreakable optical disks, have oversized bearings in a rugged bearing assembly that is highly tolerant of misalignments and overloading, with a conservative electronic design utilizing a modern custom ASIC. |
POSITAL magnetic rotary encoder available with field-programmable analog output
 |
POSITAL’s MAGNETOCODE (MCD) absolute rotary encoders with analog output (voltage or current) are an ideal alternative to single- or multi-turn potentiometers in systems that use analog instrumentation to measure and control rotary motion. |
BEI Presents: How to Install an Encoder Video Series
 |
BEI Sensors has released a video series detailing how to install industrial rotary encoders. These short videos demonstrate proper installation of shafted and hollow shaft rotary encoders with either tether arms or block and pins in simple, easy-to-follow steps that will help maximize years of service life. |
Improved Bit Parallel Absolute Rotary Encoder
 |
OCD II Bit Parallel Encoder - OPTOCODE Bit Parallel Rotary Encoders provide users with a very simple and efficient bit parallel interface allowing for easy installation. This simple interface allows for robust point-to-point communication between encoders and various types of programmable logic controllers (PLC). These encoders are extremely cost efficient and can be provided with customized mechanical options. |
Hollow-shaft version of super-versatile magnetic rotary encoder
 |
POSITAL’s MAGNETOCODE (MCD) absolute rotary encoders have always featured excellent reliability, accuracy and adaptability. Now, a new hollow-shaft version of the MCD encoder makes it easy to mount these devices on shafts up to 20mm in diameter. |
Customers Demand Networked Rotary Encoders
 |
Advanced Micro Controls Inc. (AMCI), announces its full selection of networked size 25 (2.5” diameter, or 63mm) rotary encoders. These heavy duty rotary sensors can provide an overall measuring range of up to 30 bits, and are available for EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP, Profibus, or DeviceNet communication. With both single-turn and multi-turn versions available, AMCI’s networked encoders are ready for any application. The Need for Variety AMCI has recognized the need for absolute rotary encoders that can communicate with a variety of different network protocols. With so many PLC manufacturers in the market, OEMs and Control System Integrators require flexibility when designing their control systems. AMCI continues to expand its rotary encoder offering to include these required network protocol compatibilities. |
POSITAL extends interface options for OPTOCODE rotary encoders
 |
POSITAL’s OPTOCODE (OCD) absolute rotary encoders are now available with a new combined interface that enables simultaneous communication of both absolute and incremental rotary position data. The new interface is designed to provide robust and cost-effective point-to-point communications between encoders and many popular types of programmable logic controllers (PLC). |
Improved Ethernet/IP Encoders
 |
Ethernet/IP (Ethernet Industrial Protocol based on OSI model) is a comprehensive interface technology comprised of an open communication protocol at the application layer, Ethernet at the physical layer and Internet protocol at the network layer. Unlike other networks, Ethernet/IP is a full duplex, Star topology based active infrastructure featuring virtually unlimited number of nodes. In addition, multivendor interoperability enables flexible designs which are easy to setup, operate, maintain and expand. POSITAL Ethernet/IP encoder is a well developed and proven Ethernet solution suitable for real time applications with large sensor network, requiring efficient yet time critical data “anytime and anywhere”. The internal diagnostics functionality makes the encoder even more reliable. |
Modbus TCP/IP Encoders Now Available
 |
Advanced Micro Controls Inc. (AMCI), announces the newest EtherNet-based communications protocol supported by the company’s robust NR25 series encoders – Modbus TCP/IP. These heavy duty rotary sensors provide an overall measuring range of 16 bits (single-turn resolution) plus 14 bits (number of revolutions), or 30 bits total. With both single-turn and multi-turn versions available, AMCI’s Modbus TCP/IP encoders are ready for any application. AMCI NR25 Modbus-TCP encoders are compatible with Schneider Modicon PLCs that support Modbus-TCP. |
POSITAL position sensors improve solar energy output
 |
It’s well known that photovoltaic cells are most effective in converting solar energy to electricity when they are aimed directly at the sun. For this reason, advanced solar power installations often include tracking systems that move the solar arrays so that they follow the sun as it moves across the sky. Single axis systems follow the daily movement of the sun from east to west, while more sophisticated two-axis systems also fol-low seasonal changes in the elevation of the sun above the horizon. |
