OptoTurn® EAL580 Encoder

Unrivalled compact and space saving. Ethernet encoder with the smallest installation depth in the 58 mm class: a mere 47 mm. Cost-efficient and lean cabling. The radial connector outlet allows the use of straight connectors and avoids tight and trouble-prone bending radius. Easy integration at every spot. Only ethernet encoder on the market with through hollow shaft allows for direct integration into the drive train.

EtherCAT – for extremely fast and precise applications.

Simple and intuitive commissioning: The device address is conveniently assigned using the TwinCAT commissioning software. Firmware updates of the encoder are also controlled via the protocol file access over EtherCAT (FoE). Minimum cycle time (62.5 μs) and low jitter: For demanding applications and high-precision control of the machine in real-time. Support of the operating modes Free Run, Synchronous Mode and Distributed Clocks. The OptoTurn EAL580 always adapts to the requirements of the respective application. Regardless of whether the values are freely determined or provided in a highly synchronous manner.
