Absolute Encoders MEM40-Bus CANopen

Fast, compact-sized, easy to program

CANopen communication protocol is widely employed in industrial networks, as it allows for a fast, easy and effective data transfer.

By means of CANopen interface Elap small-sized encoder MEM40-Bus communicates with any PLC-controlled system.

The multiturn absolute encoder complies with standards CiA DS301, DS406, DS 305, featuring the functions of Class 2.

It provides all the tipycal functions of a smart encoder, i.e. diagnostic for parameter, position and temperature errors, and settable operating paramenters – number of revolutions, steps, rotation direction and one preset value. The different settings are managed by the system master.

The node address and baud rate can be set via LSS or, for the type MEM41B, by means of dip-switches – which makes programming even easier.

MEM40B are supplied in multiturn version with 29 bit resolution.

The encoder comes with metal housing, and round flange, solid or hollow shaft, to meet any application requirement. The electrical connection is by M12 connector.

The stout case ensures a high protection degree to enable applications in severe industrial environments.

The innovative electronic construction technology - involving no mechanical gear –allow to reach high acceleration and speed values and grants the transducer a long life.
