When a machine stops and you don’t have all the spare parts, it becomes a problem not to solve the production stop quickly.
In such cases, Hohner’s PR90 programmable incremental encoder could turn into the best ally.
What does a programmable encoder consist of?
The PR90 series allows us to easily program any number of pulses per revolution, from 1 to 65,536, with a simple connection via USB cable without the need for an additional programming box.
Programmable “all-in-one” encoders therefore introduce great versatility of functions, in fact, unlike standard incremental encoders the PR90 series allows us to immediately configure the number of pulses, output type and direction of rotation.
What are the strengths of the programmable encoder?
Among its strengths is that it is easy to program and set up, since we only need to connect the USB cable to the encoder and the computer program. We can reprogram it as many times as we want, with or without power. The PR90 encoder can be used in multiple applications and has automatic 5-30V supply voltage detection, with selectable HTL/TTL output.
PR90 series programmable incremental encoders are the ideal solution for emergency cases where spare parts are not available.
Configurable options:
– Pulses per revolution (PPR)
– Output type (HTL / TTL)
– Rotation direction (clockwise / counterclockwise)
– Reference signal position (Z 0º/180º)
– Reference signal amplitude (Z 90º/180º)
– Differential output reversal (A-nA / B-nB / Z-nZ)
How are PR90 series encoders programmed?
Programmable encoders are set up by following these simple three steps:
– Connect the encoder to a USB port
– Program the software installation
– Run the software and program
See the data sheets.
– PR90 series, with solid shaft: HOHNER-encoder-incremental-PR90
– PR90H series, with hollow shaft: HOHNER-encoder-incremental-PR90H
