One housing, two independent rotary encoders, many flexible safety concepts

The requirements for reliability, availability and safety of machines and systems are increasing. Users meet the requirements with strategies for the design of the machine, system and control technology that are adapted to the application. TR-Electronic has set itself the goal of supporting a wide variety of structures and strategies with high-quality technical solutions. In addition to the SIL/PL-certified sensor solutions, there are also redundant versions that also enable other safety and high-availability concepts in the design.

The CR_582 family integrates two rotary encoders in the space of a standard industrial encoder with a size of 58 mm. The position values are determined by two independent sensors and processed separately. Both sensors can also be parameterized differently from each other. The encoder transmits the values either via SSI, incremental or CANopen interface.
