EKS/EKM36 Motor Feedback Systems Rotary HIPERFACE DSL®

Brand: Sick AG

From a mechanical point of view, the EKS/EKM36 motor feedback system is based on the proven 36 mm design. This design is both compact and rugged, and has been proven many times over in a wide range of applications and surroundings. 

In combination with an absolute location indicator system with a resolution of up to 20 Bits per revolution and a maximum of 4,096 revolutions, this design is unique in its class.

At a glance
  • Motor feedback system with HIPERFACE DSL® interface
  • Compact, rugged design with 36 mm diameter
  • Up to 20 bit resolution per revolution and 4,096 revolutions measurable with the multiturn system
  • Facility for connecting an external temperature sensor
  • E²Prom with 8 KB of free memory space
  • SIL2-certified (only applies to EKS/EKM36-2...)
  • Service life histogram
Features
  • Saving all analog components on the controller part due to exclusively digital data transmission
  • Enormous cost saving as the separate encoder cable is longer necessary, data transmitted synchronously to the controller cycle
  • Minimal cabling thanks to integration of the encoder communication into the motor cable
  • Optimization of the controller circuit via automated synchronization with the controller cycle
