Turck REM and RES high-speed encoders with Profinet

Turck is expanding its encoder range to include encoders with a Profinet interface for real-time applications, particularly in the logistics, food and beverage, and machine building sectors. The REM (multiturn) and RES (single-turn) encoders rely on the latest Profinet encoder profile (version 4.2) and offer 19-bit resolution for the single-turn devices and resolution of up to 24 bits for the multiturn devices. All encoders support Profinet features such as the Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP), Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

The encoders provide virtually delay-free communication even in highly dynamic applications, due to the isochronous real-time mode (IRT) and minimum clock cycles of up to 250 µs. Their high precision makes them suitable for applications such as multi-axis positioning.

The Profinet encoders are available in solid or hollow shaft variants and offer a wide range of configuration options. With different shaft diameters and flange types, they can be matched to the specific requirements of each application. Easy integration into Profinet networks enables fast commissioning and configuration.
