TR Electronic 582 series absolute encoder with SPE

TR Electronic has released an absolute rotary encoder series that directly support single-pair Ethernet (SPE).

The 582 series absolute multiturn encoder from TR Electronic can transmit its position measurement values and other status information to the master via 2-wire Ethernet. The same pair of wires can also be used to supply power.

The CEV582 absolute encoder offers 18-bit single turn resolution and up to 4096 revolutions via a multiturn gearbox. Data is provided via 10 MBps SPE, with power provided over the same pair according to the Power-over-Data-Line (PODL) Class 11 standard, which allows up to 50 W per output, with only 3–4 W required by the encoder.

The encoder has a narrow 58 mm housing and comes in various shaft configurations: solid, blind, hollow, wire draw and claw coupling.
