November 27, 2012 - The CEV58 ES3 multi-turn rotary encoder from TR Electronic has a SERCOS III interface.
The encoder features 27 bit resolution (30 bit optional) and its optical scanning technology provides 13 arc seconds of precision. Compact M12 connectors and a selection of different shaft and mounting flange configurations make the CEV58 a snap to integrate into an application.
The SERCOS III interface is based upon the Ethernet standard and combines its real-time functionality with Ethernet. It has a bump-less physical layer single-fault recovery and allows for the insertion and configuration of devices into the network when cyclic communication is active. SERCOS III is also backwards compatible with previous versions of SERCOS.
