Hengstler- the leader in Field bus Encoders

Absolute Encoders - with DeviceNet and all common Field bus interfaces

As a world leading manufacturer of Rotary Encoders, Hengstler GmbH support the trend towards serial bus systems and have continuously expanded their encoder line with integrated bus connections.

Hengstler offer a complete range of commonly used Field bus interfaces to suit all applications and this includes DeviceNet, which is often called for as the CAN protocol for field bus switching.

Hengstler's RA58 Absolute Encoder with DeviceNet is ODVA certified - your assurance that network compatibility and functionality has been checked and guaranteed.

The integrated T-distributor offers significant advantages over the more usual external Gateway solutions. You don't need to find room in the switchgear cabinet, where space is often at a premium, and there is a considerable saving in cabling costs. Internal cage terminals make for a simple and secure connection.

DeviceNET:

· Layer 7 protocol according to DeviceNet Specification 2.0

· Device profile "Generic Device"

· Selectable transfer modes: Poll mode, Bit strobe, Change of State (COS), cyclic with definable cycle times

· Programmable parameters: Resolution, Preset, Code sequence

RA58 Encoder Features

· Single-turn: resolutions up to 16,384 steps (14 Bit)

· Multi-turn: resolutions up to 26 Bit, i.e. 16,384 steps and 4,096 revolutions (14+12 Bit)

· Robust 58mm dia. industrial housing

· Optional IP67 stainless steel model (RA59)

· 6 or 10mm dia. shafts (up to 10,000 rpm)

· Bus connection cover with integrated T-distributor

· Synchro or clamp flanges

· 10-30 Vdc power supply

Complete range of common Field bus interfaces

Hengstler is one of the very few encoder manufacturers offering a complete range of commonly used Field bus interfaces and as such, provide the advantage of covering all applications from a single source.

Hengstler high-performance RA 58 Absolute Encoders, with Field bus interfaces, are now used in many industrial production lines and significantly contribute to cost optimisation.

Available Field bus interface types are:

· INTERBUS

· CAN

· CANopen

· DeviceNet

· InterBus-Loop

· SUCOnet

· Profibus-DP

Easy installation and configuration, ensure Hengstler Encoders
with DeviceNet can be optimised to suit the application.
