Technology and Measuring Methods
Incremental and Absolute Rotary

Encoders for Optimal Performance
Each rotary encoder application has its own unique requirements.

When looking for the best application solution, there are several
types of encoders that you can choose from. These types are
characterized by different measuring methods, signal outputs,
and mounting preferences.
Absolute Rotary Encoders
Absolute rotary encoders deliver a clearly defined numerical

value for each position of the shaft. Because the connected
controller does not have to make complex calculations,
you do not need costly input components. The absolute
position value is available at any time. No time-consuming
machine homing cycles are required when the machine is
switched on or after a power failure.
Incremental Rotary Encoders Single Turn and Multiturn
Incremental rotary encoders are used to detect the speed With absolute rotary encoders, there is a difference between
and position of a shaft. A precisely defined number of single turn and multiturn versions. For single turn absolute
pulses, up to 50,000, are delivered for each revolution of rotary encoders, one complete revolution of the shaft is

An internal rotating code disc is scanned in parallel using an

optical element. Rotation of the code disc generates a periodic
modulation of the light beam between the LED and sensor.
This modulation is converted into a sinusoidal electrical
signal by the rotary encoder. An incremental rotary encoder

Robust Construction
This compact rotary encoder is ideal for space-saving inte-

gration. Its robust design guarantees a long service life. With
a temperature range from –40°C to 60°C, this encoder can
handle severe temperature fluctuations. It provides high avail-
ability for wind turbines, gantry cranes, or spreaders that are
often difficult to access and therefore involve complex mainte-
nance work.

Offshore Incremental Rotary Encoders – 90 mm Design
Insensitive and Resistant to Interference
Encoders used in maritime applications must not only be

saltwater-resistant; they must also be resistant to shocks
and vibrations, and immune to electrical currents that can be
caused by induced voltages in the shaft of the drive motor.
This durability guarantees a long service life and reduces
maintenance. No mechanical slip between the rotary encoder
and shaft ensures interference-free operation.

Incremental Rotary Encoders for Hazardous Areas – 78 mm Design – Zone 1
Safe Operation in Hazardous Environments

This rotary encoder is specifically designed for use in hazardous
areas in Zone 1. Its technical design is consistent with the Ex i
type of protection. Because this encoder is intrinsically safe, it
works with electrical values that are too low for the ignition of an
explosive atmosphere.
Safe Process Flows
This rotary encoder is used in the chemical industry, e.g., in

painting and drying plants, wastewater treatment plants, and
power plants. It is ideal for areas in which an explosive atmo-
sphere can form as a mixture of air and flammable gases, vapors,
or mists. It has a resolution of 25 pulses at a rotational speed of
up to 3,000 revolutions per minute. A robust housing design en-
sures a long service life. The encoder is fitted with an intrinsically

Safety Incremental Rotary Encoders – SIL 3 and PL e
Reliable Machine Monitoring

Certified according to SIL 3 and PL e, this encoder is the perfect encoder for all machines requiring
reliable functionality in accordance with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Fields of application
include machine tools, monorail conveyors, and packaging machines. It provides feedback so that
control systems monitoring machinery movements can, in the event of a malfunction, limit speeds
and rotational speeds to safe values and down to a standstill where necessary.
Protection against Hazards in the Process Flow
A sine-cosine rotary encoder interface delivers 1,024 or 2,048

signal periods. It detects and safely communicates malfunc-
tions, allowing machines to transition to a safe state in order to
reliably prevent risks to the operating personnel. Standardized

Safe Speed and Position Monitoring

The Safe Speed and Position Monitor provides safety functions
for monitoring process conditions. The monitor is ideal for
retrofitting safety functionality to existing plants. It meets all
safety requirements up to SIL 3 /PL e when combined with one
safety or two standard rotary encoders.
Slim, Complete Solution
The position and speed monitor facilitates plant integration

without modification of existing components. In combination
with only one safety or two standard rotary encoders, a security
level up to SIL 3/PL e can be realized. An incremental rotary
encoder with sine-cosine or TTL interface, as well as absolute
rotary encoders with an SSI interface can be used. This enables
a safe monitoring of standstill, speed, direction of rotation,
brake ramp, and position for up to two axes. An additional safety
control unit is not required, which considerably reduces the
installation effort.
For series applications, an integrated chip card facilitates the

commissioning of additional modules. The stored data can be
easily transferred to other units without reparameterization.
