ROBUST, RELIABLE SENSING WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH
Ever-increasing automation across many industrial applications
combined with a growing demand to maximise system safety, are
among the key drivers for developing robust and reliable sensors
and encoders. A good example of this is the new EAM580 RS encoder
developed by sensor specialist BAUMER. This encoder is ideal
for harsh, outdoor applications and deployment in mobile machinery,
such as loader and tower cranes as well as mobile working platforms.
The introduction of this new magnetic safety encoder means that
Baumer is one of the first manufacturers to meet the very latest
requirements of functional safety, specifically (SIL2/PLd according
to IEC 61508, ISO 134839:2023 and IEC 61800-5-3. These safety
accreditations will give engineers the confidence to accelerate
engineering work and in parallel system certification mode, will
simplify the supply of additional documentation.
Safe, robust and precise, even in harsh out outdoor applications.
The EAM580 RS, which utilises CANOpen Safety, is more than a
robust and precise variant of an industrial encoder as it features
a stainless steel casing ensuring optimum resistance to aggressive
environmental impacts and is also immune to shock and vibrations.
Maximum safety requires maximum precision and speed and this
is where the EAM580 RS excels. For example, the encoder delivers
a resolution / SRDO of safe acceleration 16 bit, safe speed also
16 bit and safe position of 32 bit. Steps per revolution are
16384 / 14 bit and number of resolutions 262144 / 18 bit. Absolute
accuracy is assured with a peak performance in precision ±
0.2º (operating at +20 ± 15ºC and ± 0.3º
-40 +75ºC) ultra-fast transmission rates, helping to boost
the performance of machinery. CANopen® features include operating
modes of timer-driven (event time) and synchronously triggered
(Sync).
In addition to its robust construction the EAM580 RS is designed
for easy configuration whilst also providing valuable secondary
data. For example, it provides information on revolutions, operating
time and input voltage for machine monitoring.
When combined with the Baumer Sensor Suite Freeware: https://www.baumer.com/us/en/products/baumer-sensor/suite/a/baumer-sensor-suite the encoder can be easily
configured to meet the most varied requirements. The EAM580 RS
with clamping flange is immediately available in hollow shaft
design.
