140CPU31110

The 140CPU31110 features latching inputs, on-board diagnostics, and read/write access. Utilising Rockwell Automation licensed technology, the 7272 EnDat Interface PLC Module is 100% compatible with the 1756 ControlLogix PLC.The 7272 EnDat Interface Module interfaces directly with all Heidenhain EnDat 2.1 rotary encoders, high-precision angle encoders and linear scales. The module is digital, dual channel and bi-directional; making it possible to transmit position values as well as read and update information stored in the encoder or save new information.

The 140CPU31110 provides sensor data such as application-specific parameters, compensation tables, error detection and diagnostic functions. Several other functions are standard. EnDat position sensors are bi-directional and only require four signal lines as AMCI’s 7272 modules support serial transmission methods. They are also self-commissioning, reporting all encoder attributes to the controller at power-up.The OEM can download application-specific data to a freely definable memory area of the encoder. These valuable functions can be used via ControlLogix PLCs by using the AMCI EnDat Interface Module.
