High-speed counting, along with position detection using an array of different displacement transducer technologies, both absolute and incremental, is an essential element of many automation applications. With the function modules from the MO5xxx series for position, frequency, displacement or angle measurement, Beckhoff offers the right solution for your precision measurement tasks.
Absolute position detection
The MO5xxx modules enable the evaluation of linear and rotary encoders and measuring probes as well as displacement measuring systems and absolute encoders with SSI (synchronous serial interface). The modules are equipped with an integrated sensor supply. Extensive parameterization options allow all standard sensors in both single-turn and multi-turn versions to be connected and evaluated.
Incremental position detection
Furthermore, incremental signals with SinCos 1 VPP, differential signals with RS422, 5 V single-ended signals of TTL or open collector encoders as well as 24 V HTL encoder signals can also be evaluated. 24 V digital inputs can be used to store, disable and set the counter value. Functions such as micro-increments, timestamp and oversampling also enable finely resolved position detection. Precise synchronization of the position value with other processes is ensured via the EtherCAT distributed clock function.
