Encoder

HTL-INCREMENTAL ENCODER SERIES SENC

Incremental encoders are the simplest and most commonly used type of encoder. They are suitable for monitoring speed, position, and direction of rotation. They can be connected to common PLC and PC control systems and are a very robust fundamental element of industrial control systems.

SERIES SENC

Automation systems often require a high level of risk minimization. In such systems, equipment with functional safety can be part of the solution. Wieland offers encoders with functional safety for almost any application or electrical interface requirement. These encoders are rated SIL3 (PLe) and enable safe operation in setup, production, and maintenance modes, significantly reducing operational risks.

ARCHITECTURE EXAMPLES

The integration of encoders for speed monitoring into a safety architecture can be achieved in various configurations. Depending on the required safety level and/or existing hardware, we present different solutions below.

NOTE

The use of safety encoders in a safety application requires external monitoring of the encoder signals. 
The safety modules offered by Wieland meet these requirements transparently for the user.

ACCESSORIES FOR SENC ENCODERS

Torque supports provide a high degree of rotational stability to prevent the encoder from rotating with the shaft. Flange adapters are used to flange-mount the encoder to a motor. 

With reducer sleeves, you can reduce the diameter of a hollow shaft encoder. PUR encoder cables with M23 connectors (encoder-side) and open wires (control-side) offer high flexibility, robustness, and resistance.

FAQ

How does a rotary encoder/incremental encoder work?

A rotary encoder is a sensor used to measure angular rotation, providing digital output signals that are decoded for evaluation. Therefore, rotary encoders are often referred to as encoders. There are two main types of rotary encoders: incremental encoders and absolute encoders. Additionally, a rotary encoder may be equipped with or without bearings.

Incremental encoders determine position by counting a specific number of pulses per revolution, including a zero pulse that repeats each revolution as a reference. By analyzing two different tracks offset by a quarter pulse, not only speed but also direction of rotation can be determined. Detection is achieved using a magnetic wheel, optical disk, or gear teeth flanks.

Which safety standards do the safe HTL encoders of the SENC series comply with?
