Built for demanding automation tasks, the optoTurn EAL580-T - PROFINET combines single turn and multi turn absolute positioning with advanced optical sensing, delivering up to 31-bit total resolution. It provides angular accuracy of ±0.01° for 18-bit single turn and ±0.025° for 13-bit multi turn ranges. Powered by a 10...30 VDC supply with reverse polarity protection, the device consumes only ≤100 mA, making it energy efficient for continuous operations. Its through hollow shaft (ø10...14 mm) design enables direct motor shaft integration, reducing coupling complexity. Equipped with a PROFINET IO interface, this encoder offers reliable, high-speed communication for real-time industrial control systems. The flange connector 3xM12 ensures quick installation, and 4 integrated LED indicators provide clear operational diagnostics at a glance.
The rugged housing of this encoder features a zinc diecast body with an aluminium flange, protected by IP54, IP65, and IP67 ratings for use in dusty, humid, and mechanically active environments. The unit handles mechanical and electrical speeds up to 6000 rpm and operates reliably between -40 to +85 °C. With a low starting torque of ≤0.04 Nm and rotor inertia of 20 gcm², it delivers smooth response across varying loads. Certified for shock resistance (100 g, 2 ms) and vibration (10 g) per EN 60068 standards, it’s a dependable choice for mission-critical automation needs in manufacturing, robotics, packaging, and energy systems.
The Baumer Single Turn Multi Turn Encoder optoTurn EAL580-T - PROFINET is used across automation-intensive sectors like robotics, conveyor positioning, and machine tool calibration. In robotic arms, it helps detect both shaft position (single turn) and rotational count (multi turn) for multi-axis coordination. In packaging systems, it ensures synchronized motion between belts, labelers, and cutters. For smart warehouse and logistics systems, it provides precise motor feedback with zero-loss position tracking even during power loss. Its compatibility with PROFINET IO makes it easy to integrate with Siemens and other industrial PLC systems. Trusted for its precision, resilience, and communication reliability, this encoder supports high-speed control in every revolution—both inside the turn and across turns.
