Real-Time Interface

Ethernet POWERLINK is an open and completely software based solution that is promoted by the EPSG (Ethernet POWERLINK Standardization Group). It is a real-time protocol that is based on the CANopen back bone. The encoders from FRABA POSITAL have a jitter for synchronization that is less than 1 micro seconds.

Ease of Installation

There is an integrated web server to easily change parameters and configure the encoder. These multiturn encoders are available in a vast variety of mechanical options. The varied resolution options make these encoders a good fit for various material handling, packaging and paper machinery based applications. These encoders are directly compatible with B&R and Baldor PLC’s and drives, making them perfect for retrofitting for position control.
