Today we would like to introduce a Profibus encoder, model no.AMP40K-1212This is a heavy duty absolute encoder. This is a heavy duty absolute encoder with Profibus-DP communication protocol.
This is an inquiry from a Russian customer who needs 4 spare parts, the originals are not available now and wants to solve the application by customized replacement. In fact, this model is very similar in appearance to the previously introduced AMS40K-1212, only the internal protocol parameters are different.
In other words, we can take the AMS40K-1212 housing solution and develop a replacement for this encoder. Let's take a look at the housing of the AMS40K-1212.
Above, you can see the difference between the original and the alternative. The two production processes are different, the original model takes a die casting process and the alternative is a milling process. The cost of the alternative is a bit higher, which is also caused by the fact that the customized quantity is not high enough to die cast in large quantities.
AMP40K-1212The alternative to this is to change the outgoing line method to PG9 outgoing line on this basis. The internal parameters are changed to profibus communication parameters. This, we have a complete solution for profibus communication program, and then through the technical realization of the application can be matched.
The complete alternative basically matches the article picture so that an alternative is complete.
This series of encoders with profibus communication has not had many inquiries overall, and are some extremely rare spare part replacements. In the metallurgical industry, most of the heavy-duty incremental encoders are used more. Absolute encoders are also relatively more SSI, and there are really not many profibus encoders.
Caveats:
One thing to keep in mind for Profibus encoder substitution is the replacement of the GSD file. This is a necessary condition.
In the actual application process, there are a lot of enterprises will not apply the technology of the GSD file, although it is a protocol that will soon be eliminated, as usual, a large number of technology will not be used. Therefore, at the beginning of the application must be communicated with the customer as a prerequisite for this issue. Especially traders friends, this can save a lot of time.
It's the same for those in the export business. The first question to ask is if you can replace the GSD file and will you use the new Profibus encoder. If you can solve this problem then continue, stuck in this link is not in the minority. This point must be noted.
Contact the phone number at the end of the article about this encoder if you need it.
