Elap WDS absolute multiturn pull-wire encoder with fieldbus communications

Wednesday, 04 July, 2012 | Supplied by: Motion Technologies Pty Ltd


Motion Technologies is now supplying the Elap WDS absolute multiturn pull-wire encoder, featuring industrial standard Profibus, CANopen or SSI outputs.

Measurement strokes from 3000 to 15,000 mm are available as standard, with resolution ranging from 0.6 to 1.5 mm. Special lengths of 30 to 50 m are available on request.

The WDS cable mechanism, constructed with an aluminium case with coated polyamid stainless steel pull wire, is built to suit harsh environments and the temperature range -20 to +80°C.

Coupled with the MEM520 multiturn absolute encoder with up to 29-bit resolution, industry-standard fieldbus protocols are now available for long-length measurement applications requiring absolute position feedback.

Application suits industrial environments where absolute linear measurement is required, and the encoder output must integrate with an existing control system via Profibus, CANopen or SSI.
