The CIP Motion Encoder, Ethernet/IP, Multi-Turn (4096 turns), Hollow Shaft 1/2 Inch, M12 Connector, with 262,144 (18-bit) steps per revolution, is a high-precision absolute encoder designed for motion control systems that rely on feedback-only axes. Distributed by BSP Automation, this encoder integrates seamlessly with common automation platforms by supporting standard motion instruction sets found in the Studio 5000 Logix Designer application. It provides auxiliary feedback directly over an EtherNet/IP network, which simplifies installation by eliminating the need for traditional point-to-point wiring. The encoder is compatible with various network configurations, including linear, ring, or star topologies, and features CIP Sync for accurate time synchronization according to the IEEE 1588 standard, enhancing coordination across networked devices.
