ENI58PL Configurable Incremental Rotary Encoder—One Encoder, Many Applications

IO-Link makes configuration of the new ENI58PL rotary encoder easy and flexible. Users can adjust the device according to their application and reconfigure it if there are changes to production and process flows. This flexibility enables standardized machine design and reduces storage and spare part requirements to a minimum.

This saves users precious time and reduces stocking costs. A variety of shaft, flange, and output options make the ENI58PL a comprehensive solution. The incremental rotary encoder can be configured via app, IO-Link master, or offline via PACTware. The standardized interface requires no manufacturer-specific software. Existing hardware and software can be used to define the following parameters:

• Voltage output level for short and long cable lengths with high or low frequencies each (HTL or TTL)
• Counting direction that can be adapted to the application
• Pulse count per rotation that can reach from 1… 16,384 pulses per rotation according to the desired resolution

The new ENI58PL series incremental rotary encoder reliably delivers high-precision results with a resolution of up to 16,384 pulses per rotation. Its noncontact, wear-free magnetic technology yields a long operating life with virtually maintenance-free operation. Additionally, the ENI58PL features an extended temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C, IP65/67 protection, and resistance against shock and vibration.

• Standardized IO-Link interface for easy, flexible configuration
• Reduced varieties—one device can be used for several applications
• Configuration can be done via IO-Link master, PACTware, or with the tried-and-tested hardware and software
• Reliable signal transmission even in demanding conditions
