This series of WDGA absolute encoders for PROFIBUS-DP allows the user to easily and quickly configure the encoder profile with which it wishes to operate the sensor and in particular the class that the user wishes to use with the encoder.
Generally, for the choice of an absolute rotary encoder PROFIBUS-DP, the user must determine with which encoder profile he wants to use the sensor. However, over time, if requirements and specifications change, changing the profile often requires replacing the existing encoder.
On the contrary, Wachendorff Automation offers manufacturers and plant operators a solution designed for the durability and safety of their investment: the WDGA absolute encoder series for PROFIBUS-DP allows the user to easily and quickly configure the profile Encoder using the GSD file.
In other words, the user determines by software the class - 1/2 or 3/4 - that he wishes to use with the encoder. A change of class is therefore possible at any time, without having to invest in a new encoder and without the corresponding assembly costs.
This is a logistical advantage for inventory management and for maintenance and repair services because it is sufficient to manage and store a single type of encoder for different generations of installations or for functionally different installations.
Different forms of construction and numerous connection options by terminal box or connector ensure optimal integration of the WDGA encoder in all applications. The extremely compact dimensions of the encoder, which uses EnDra® technology from Wachendorff Automation, follow the general trend towards miniaturization in the field of machine and plant construction.
These robust mechanical encoders support very high loads at bearings and are designed for use in severe industrial environments.
