Baumer Electric Introduces The ProCoder Multi-bus Absolute Encoder
World's First Interchangeable Bus System Encoder
Southington, Conn. -March 27, 2002. Baumer Electric has introduced the ProCoder, an innovative multi-turn absolute optical rotary encoder that employs a modular bus cover technology that allows the freely programmable encoder to be easily integrated into a variety of popular bus systems. The ProCoder's modular system increases adaptability, dramatically reduces delivery times, and offers substantial cost savings over traditional, one-piece bus encoders.
Featuring 29-bit resolution in multi-turn configuration, the ProCoder supports most major bus systems, including SSI, CANopen, DeviceNet and Profibus via the simply exchanged bus cover. Designed with a radial connector configuration, the ProCoder is well suited to a wide array of high-precision applications. Also available in a 13-bit single-turn version, the encoder features 200G Shock protection and IP 65 sealing, and will operate optimally in temperatures from -20 to 85°C.
Baumer's ProCoder employs a unique operating principle that eliminates the bulky and breakage-prone traditional gear system used to track revolutions and allows for exceptional miniaturization, measuring just 58 mm in diameter by 89 mm in depth.
