Network options for the BTL series
Micropulse transducers are available with various network options.
- CANopen
CANopen offers greater flexibility through comprehensive configurability of the position. - DeviceNet
Micropulse transducers transmit absolute position and speed, 4 byte each, with a maximum cycle time of 1ms to the control. - PROFIBUS-DP
The resolution of the position can be adjusted in 5 μm steps and the resolution of the speed in 0.1 mm / s steps. Work spaces and zero point can be defined for each position encoder. - VARAN
Typical features of the open VARAN interface are fast real-time data transmission with cycle times <100 μs, automatic addressing, hot plug-in, high failure-protection, low implementation costs, easy maintenance and service with appropriate service and diagnostic tools. - EtherCAT
EtherCAT focuses on extremely short cycle times (≤ 100 μs), low jitters for exact synchronization (≤ 1 μs) and low hardware costs. - IO-Link
IO-Link is a point-to-point connection under any network. - Profinet
PROFINET is an industrial bus system based on the physical layer of the Ethernet. The BTL can detect and process up to 16 magnets. The maximum number of magnets depends on the nominal length. The position and velocity of each magnet can be output.
