GMA-EC Series EtherCAT Interface Ethernet Multi-Turn Absolute Encoder

short description:

GMA-EC Series encoder is an EitherCAT EitherNet interface cooper-gear type multi-turn absolute encoder with housing Dia.:58mm; Solid Shaft Dia.:10mm; Resolution: Max.29bits;EtherCAT is a highly flexible Ethernet network protocol that is developing at a rapid rate and growing at an even faster clip. A unique principle called “processing on the fly” gives EtherCAT a handful of unique advantages. Because EtherCAT messages are passed before being processed in each node, EtherCAT operates at a high speed and efficiency. The process also creates flexibility in topology and incredible synchronization. Outside of the advantages gained from “processing on the fly,” EtherCAT benefits from superb infrastructure. EtherCAT includes, among other things, a safety protocol and multiple device profiles. EtherCAT also benefits from a strong users group. The combination of benefits means EtherCAT is poised for continued growth.
