Absolute Encoder
POSITAL introduces encoders and inclinometers with J1939 interface
.May2013.preview.jpg "Encoders and Inclinometers with J1939 interface from POSITAL Fraba") |
POSITAL's versatile inclinometers and absolute rotary encoders are now available with J1939 communications interfaces. (The J1939 protocol was developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers for use in heavy vehicles such as trucks, buses, fire trucks and construction machinery. The protocol facilitates quick and reliable communications between sensors, actuators and electronic control systems.) |
Thru-Hollow Shaft Encoders - Reliable Potentiometer Alternatives
 |
Geared potentiometers are used in various applications where the positioning feedback of slow moving shafts is required. These potentiometers sometimes come with variable gear ratios to increase the number of revolutions they can measure. The mechanical complexity of these contact based potentiometric systems have drawbacks in terms of flexibility and reliability. |
Absolute DeviceNet Encoders
 |
The POSITAL DeviceNet Encoders are a robust and accurate solution for absolute positioning at a minimum cost. Consider the recent application by a US paper manufacturer who turned to POSITAL to get the job done on time and on budget. Compared to traditional wiring options, DeviceNet’s fieldbus network allowed for efficient wiring and easy communication. |
Measuring and Positioning Tasks of Wind Turbines
 |
Many measuring and positioning tasks must be solved in wind turbines: yaw control of the nacelle, tilt angle of the rotor blades, speed control, and all that in a very demanding environment. POSITAL offers now an extensive one-stop range of sensors that withstand even extreme environmental conditions.

CANopen Safety Optical Absolute Encoder
 |
POSITAL’s OCD CANopen Safety Encoder offers the advantages of increased personnel safety, minimal risk of machines malfunctioning, and reduced costs. This encoder was one of the first encoders to introduce the CANopen safety protocol in the automation industry, and according to the new Machinery Directive it allows users to increase the safety and availability of machines as well as entire plants. |
Heavy-Duty Magnetic Encoder
 |
POSITAL introduces a newly designed compact Heavy Duty encoder as an extension of its already successful line of MAGNETOCODE magnetic encoders. Compact and Robust Metal Housing |
MAGNETOCODE Heavy Duty Encoders
 |
The compact magnetic heavy duty encoders are available in a stainless steel and a cost-efficient steel version with different interfaces. Special constructive features ensure up to IP69K protection throughout the long lifetime of the encoder. Combined with the sturdy ball bearings these sensors offer an ideal choice for reliable measurements under extreme environmental conditions such as great temperature fluctuations, high humidity, high-pressure water or salty liquids (according DIN EN ISO 9227 >240 hrs). Whereas the stainless steel encoders can also be used in the offshore and food industry the cost efficient steel version is perfectly suited for the demands of mobile machines. |
Profibus Communication Added to Absolute Encoders
 |
Advanced Micro Controls Inc. (AMCI), adds Profibus-DP communication to their lineup of NR25series encoders. These heavy duty rotary sensors provide an overall measuring range of 16 bits (single-turn resolution) plus 12 or 14 bits (number of revolutions), up to 30 bits total. |
Industrial EtherNet/IP Encoders
 |
POSITAL OCD absolute rotary encoders offer excellent accuracy, reliability and versatility, plus a full-function EtherNet/IP interface. The EtherNet/IP encoders are programmable according to CIP specifications and work with a number of Rockwell, Allen-Bradley and Schneider PLC’s. Installation is simplified by an integrated switch (to support daisy-chain or device-level ring (DLR)) and six diagnostic LED’s. The IP address of the devices is programmable, while the internal processor supports a bootloader to simplify firmware upgrades. OPTOCODE encoders are available with solid and hollow shafts, stainless steel casings and several levels of environmental protection (up to IP 67). |
