3. Product family
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.
