Allen Bradley 842E-CM-MIP12BA

The Allen Bradley 842E-CM-MIP12BA is an Ethernet/IP absolute encoder designed for precision motion control applications. This model features a hollow 15 mm shaft and offers multi-turn capability with up to 4096 turns, delivering high-resolution feedback at 262,144 steps per revolution (18-bit). Integrated with CIP Motion, it supports the standard motion instruction set used in Studio 5000 Logix Designer, making it well-suited for feedback-only axes.

One of the key advantages of this encoder is its ability to transmit auxiliary feedback directly over an EtherNet/IP network, which simplifies installation by eliminating the need for dedicated point-to-point wiring. It’s compatible with various network configurations, including linear, star, and ring topologies. Additionally, the encoder incorporates CIP Sync, a time synchronization technology that complies fully with the IEEE 1588 standard, ensuring coordinated timing across networked devices.

This encoder, available through BSP Automation, provides a reliable and efficient solution for advanced motion control systems requiring robust and precise position feedback.
