3. Product families
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 field bus interface and the complete electronics for processing the
measured values. EtherNet/IP communication is performed via the specialized EtherNet/IP-ASIC ERTEC200
with integrated high-performance microcontroller ARM9.
Magres / magtivo
®
Utilizes a magnetic sensing principle and endures harsh industrial environments.
Procoder / multivo
®
Utilizes a photoelectric sensing principle and is the recommended product for precise applications.
Dignalizer / activo
®
/ multivoPlus
®
Utilizes a photoelectric sensing principle with integrated analog/digital signal conversion and is the product to
choose for ultra-precise sensing applications.
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:
Speed signal
Baumer Profibus encoders with bus cover concept permit readout of the current rotary speed. There are four
different scaling systems available:
RPM
Readout of the speed in revolutions per minute.
Steps/s
Readout of the speed in units of the parameterized singleturn resolution per second. The speed is
measured over a period of 200 ms in each case and then updated.
Steps/100 ms
Readout of the speed in units of the parameterized singleturn resolution per 100 ms.
Steps/10 ms
Readout of the speed in units of the parameterized singleturn resolution per 10 ms.
