Pepperl+Fuchs의 앱솔루트 리니어 엔코더 WCS 시스템은 다양한 산업용 및 상업용 어플리케이션에 밀리미터까지의 매우 세밀한 위치 피드백을 제공합니다.
오버헤드 모노레일, 컨베이어, 크레인, 자동 스토리지 및 검색 시스템뿐만 아니라 엘리베이터 및 영화관 무대 조명 시스템에 WCS 시스템 적용으로 작동 성능을 한층 높은 수준으로 높입니다.
For safety applications, Pepperl+Fuchs combines the advantages of the proven WCS positioning system with a safe evaluation unit. The system consisting of the safe evaluation unit (Position Unit Safe, PUS) and two safeWCS/PUS read heads enables safe position and speed detection up to SIL 3 and PL e. The evaluation unit acts as a safe gateway to the fieldbus: It processes the redundant signals from the safeWCS/PUS read heads, creates a safe position value, and derives a safe speed value from it. In addition to the safe and non-safe data, it also transmits diagnostic data. The system supports the common safety protocol Fail Safe over EtherCAT® (FSoE) in order to transmit the acquired data from the sensor to a safe control system.
The U-shaped WCS read heads are particularly robust. They provide noncontact photoelectric scanning of the code rail. Even in difficult environmental conditions, the WCS read heads reliably determine position values. There are various options available to perfectly meet your needs. For safety applications, choose two safeWCS/PUS read heads that are combined with a safe evaluation unit (PUS).
To integrate the WCS into higher-level systems via standardized interfaces, Pepperl+Fuchs offers a broad portfolio of interface modules. Up to four read heads can be connected to one interface module simultaneously. Choose the right version for your application from various interfaces. For safety applications, you can choose the safe evaluation unit (PUS) combined with two safeWCS/PUS read heads.
Rugged and flexible code rails are required for read heads to work over a defined distance. Our dirt-resistant code rails are suitable for curved tracks, inclines, etc. In addition, Pepperl+Fuchs offers mounting bracket systems for the installation of code rails, aluminum profile systems for especially long distances, and a guide trolley that keeps the reader on track even in high-vibration applications.
Pepperl+Fuchs also offers a range of suitable accessories for the WCS positioning system. The portfolio includes shielded twisted-pair cables that are suitable for drag chains, WCS read head and guide trolley spare parts, as well as protective housings for retrofitting read heads.
