Absolute encoder interfaces: Differences between SSI, BiSS, Hiperface, and EnDat

April 2, 2021 By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

absolute encoder interfaces

Absolute encoders can communicate with controllers through parallel or serial wiring, over a fieldbus, or via an Ethernet-based protocol such as EtherCAT. Of these options, serial communication is a simpler solution than parallel wiring (which requires a twisted pair of wires for each bit of output) and is well-suited for applications that aren’t complex enough […]

Diverse-redundant absolute encoders for safety-critical applications from POSITAL

June 30, 2020 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

encoders

Sensor manufacturer POSITAL has introduced an inexpensive and flexible alternative for safety-critical motion control systems. Supplementing its existing range of formally certified SIL safety encoders, the new ‘diverse-redundant absolute encoders’, based on non-certified standard components, are a suitable choice for many installations where functional safety is required. When combined with functional safety PLCs, these devices […]

IXARC absolute encoders with IO-Link interface from POSITAL

November 12, 2019 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

encoders

POSITAL has announced that its family of absolute IXARC rotary encoders has been expanded to include support for the popular IO-Link communications interface. IO-Link is a low-cost, easy-to-implement communications system designed to simplify connections between large-scale fieldbus or industrial Ethernet networks and sensor or actuator devices located on the factory floor. On one side of […]

New servo actuators feature dual absolute encoder, panel mount connectors

July 2, 2019 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

actuator

Harmonic Drive has introduced new dual absolute encoder versions of the FHA-C mini actuator featuring BiSS-C bi-directional communication for both encoders. The dual encoders are incorporated in essentially the same package size as the long-standing FHA-C mini single incremental encoder version. Without increasing the size, the dual absolute encoder offers single-turn absolute position at the […]
