Baumer IVO as specialist in encoder technology developed a multiturn encoder that thanks to its conception fits almost all current fieldbus systems. One and the same encoder can be combined with different bus covers with integrated corresponding fieldbus electronics. Thus, control designers and OEMs are more flexible, stocks are being reduced and in case of maintenance work both encoder and bus electronics can be changed separately.

Optional available are bus covers for CAN, CANopen, DeviceNet, EtherCat, Fiber-Optic Bus and simple network via RS-485 interface.

According to the application's prevailing conditions, in the multiturn absolute encoder field the encoder expert Baumer IVO is making use of different physical principles: Multivo®, designed for industrial applications operates without mechanical gears. Still in single-turn operation they enable an 18-bit resolution at an accuracy of 0.005 °. However, since with extreme ambient conditions the optical scan in singleturn operation might be a weak point due to its function principle.

Features:

• Optical single/multiturn encoder with bus covers
