The Rotalink absolute encoder is a contactless magnetic rotary encoder for accurate angular measurement over a full turn of 360°. The sensor determines the orientation of a magnet attached to the output shaft and calculates a binary code (10-16 Bit as required). The absolute encoder is tolerant of stray magnetic fields due to a local measurement technique and Hall sensor conditioning circuitry.
The encoder can be programmed at Rotalink to provide either:
The non RS422 version provides an SSI interface with the possibility to include PWM output of the absolute position and AB quadrature output.
The RS422 version has the benefit of a robust communication layer for the SSI interface. RS422 is a serial communication standard that is used for transmitting digital data over long distances between devices.
Overall, RS422 is a robust and reliable standard that offers many advantages for long-distance communication and high-speed data transmission.
Rotalink produce products for a wide range of different applications. Our miniature gearmotors are used in everything from vending machines and ATMs to medical equipment and fluid control systems.
