Baumer presents innovative EN580C fieldbus encoder

Baumer has added another innovative fieldbus encoder to its extensive product portfolio for positioning tasks. Typical for Baumer encoders, EN580C convinces in technological terms by high performance with yet easy integration. Another particular user interest is the guaranteed long-term availability of the optical multiturn encoder. Baumer as a reliable partner guarantees planning security to machine and system operators in terms of exchange and replacement.

Fieldbus encoder on a future-safe technology platform

EN580C provides users with leading-edge performance based on proven fieldbus systems. The backwards-compatible EN580C offers up-to-date technology with many user-friendly features:

• Ultimate accuracy up to 0.01°
• Convenient application-specific parameterization (gear function, dynamic PDO mapping)
• Efficient integration and cabling flexibility by modular fieldbus cover 
• Easy commissioning thanks to address switch (node ID, baud rate)

This way, EN580C is the reliable solution to replace previous fieldbus encoders by a future-proof, high-performance product. When it comes to maintenance, the new Baumer encoder will quickly and easily replace obsolete fieldbus variants. Further to retrofit in existing systems, the EN580C is ideal for new projects using fieldbus protocols.

Some ideal application fields for the new fieldbus encoder are factory automation, machinery and plant engineering as well as intralogistics.

The EN580C is immediately available.
