March 28, 2018 - Introducing the MH64-II-CAN(MU) series of multi-turn encoders, sensor specialist FSG offers sensors for angle detection in category PLd safety-critical applications. Enclosed in an aluminum housing, the device weighs no more than 160 grams. It is equipped with a redundant Hall sensor that can track up to 64 turns. It is designed for applications in construction machinery, mobile work platforms, and for length measurements in draw-wire systems. A CAN bus interface supports CANopen and the CANopen safety protocol for signal output.
Featuring internal signal monitoring and error detection, the sensor also qualifies for category PLd safety-critical applications. Alternatively, the sensor can use a 4 – 20 mA interface for safety category PLc.
The IP67-protected encoder is suitable for ambient temperatures from -30 °C to +80 °C and features 25 g shock resistance as well as 4 g vibration resistance. The encoder can also be supplied as a single-turn variant. It can be wired up or connected via M12 plug.
