Baumer GmbH: Top flexibility by HeavyDuty encoder platform in The Windfair Newsletter
Friedberg, 17.09.2012. Husum WindEnergy is
the venue for Baumer to present an innovative solution for long-distance
transmission of generator feedback: Incremental HeavyDuty encoder HOG
86 L with fiber optic interface. Signal transmission allows for maximum
2200 m cable length and is fully immune against electromagnetic
interference. A redundant encoder variant with simultaneous electric and
optic signal transmission is also available.
The product innovations further add on the HOG 86 encoder platform which already provides maximum flexibility by a wide selection of variants with multiple designs benefits. To mention only a few: Terminal box rotatable through 180°, M23 mating connector, cable outlet or redundant sensing. The encoders come in a very resilient mechanical design. Large, optimally spaced bearings at both ends ensure a considerably extended service life. Enduring temperatures from -40 °C to +100 °C, these encoders provide longterm IP66 protection and are compliant to corrosion category C4. Protective encapsulation by two closed compartments inside the housing will prevent sensing unit and electronics from damage during installation and electrostatic discharge.
Insulated bearings eliminate potential harm by inductive shaft currents. As an option, the encoders also come with hybrid bearings.
Another optional feature is integrated function monitoring EMS (Enhanced Monitoring System) to consistently monitor the encoder functionality. Potential errors are immediately and reliably tracked and communicated to the control by the alarm output. The housing-integrated multicolor LED activity indicator signals proper power supply, output driver performance and signal integrity. EMS will speed up error tracing and prevent expensive downtime.
