Frequently Asked Questions - RU6024 IFM

How to connect the RU6024 encoder?
The electrical connection is made via cable or connectors depending on the version. Refer to the wiring diagram on the housing cover. Disconnect the installation from power before any manipulation. Unused wires must be insulated.
What are the output signals of the RU6024?
The encoder provides digital pulses on outputs A and B, phase-shifted by 90° to detect the direction of rotation. A zero index (one pulse per revolution) is also available. Inverted signals are provided for differential inputs.
What is the supply voltage of the RU6024?
The RU6024 is available in two versions: 5 V TTL and 10...30 V HTL. Check the label on the housing to know the version of your device.
How to mount the RU6024 encoder?
The encoder is screwed onto a mounting flange. The shaft must be connected via a flexible coupling to compensate for misalignment. Avoid shocks to the shaft and do not use tools on the shaft.
What is the maximum cable length for the RU6024?
The maximum cable length is 100 m for the 5 V TTL version and 300 m for the 10...30 V HTL version, with appropriate cables.
Is the encoder protected against short-circuits?
Yes. The 5 V TTL version protects outputs against short-circuits to 0 V. The HTL version protects to 0 V and L+ (up to 1 minute).
Can I use the RU6024 to measure linear displacements?
Yes, by using a measuring wheel or a rack and pinion to convert linear displacement into rotation. Observe the maximum shaft load specifications.
What to do if the encoder does not provide a signal?
Check the power supply, wiring according to the diagram (especially the insulated unused wires), and mounting orientation. If the problem persists, contact IFM support.
What accessories are available for the RU6024?
Accessories include the mounting flange E60033 and various connection cables (ifm1000.xx, ifm1001.xx, ifm1013.xx). Visit www.ifm.com for more information.
How to clean and maintain the RU6024 encoder?
Clean the exterior with a dry cloth. Avoid any shock to the shaft. Do not file or use tools on the shaft. Ensure connections are clean and dry.

USER MANUAL RU6024 IFM

Function and features

The encoder transforms rotational movement into pulse sequences. These allow the measurement of linear distances and angular movement as well as the determination of positions.

Electrical connection

IFM RU6024 - Electrical connection - 1

Disconnect power from the installation before connecting or disconnecting cables or connectors!

Unused wires must be insulated to avoid short circuits and cross faults.

Short-circuit protection

5 V TTL version: outputs short-circuit protected against 0 V 10...30 V HTL version: outputs short-circuit protected against 0 V and L+ for maximum 1 minute

Wiring is also indicated on the housing cap. If there is a deviation, the encoder must be connected as indicated on the label on the housing cap.

The wires L + (sensor) and 0V (sensor) are internally connected to the supply voltage. When using external electronics which regulate the supply voltage these wires can be used as test wires. If unused, these wires must be connected to the supply voltage or insulated.

Depending on the version, the electrical connection is made via the cable or via cables to be obtained separately.

When using suitable cables the maximum cable length is 100m for the 5 V TTL version and 300m for the 10...30 V HTL version.

The cables must be laid separately from interfering sources, the minimum distance is 20~cm .

The braided screen in the cable is connected to the encoder housing.

Output signals

output A

output B

0 index

IFM RU6024 - Output signals - 1

The encoder provides digital pulse sequences at the output stages. The outputs A and B are electrically offset by 90^ . Thus the direction of rotation can be evaluated in the external electronics.

The combined zero index is provided once in a mechanical revolution of the shaft. In case of power failure it can be used as a reference point within a revolution.

The inverted output signals are used for external electronics with differential voltage input to filter interference.

Installation

IFM RU6024 - Installation - 1

Do not hit the shaft, do not use a file or similar tool on the shaft: This could destroy the unit!

The encoder can be screwed to the angle bracket. The shaft should be connected using a flexible bellows or spring disc coupling to compensate for shaft displacement and to protect the encoder against damage.

Linear movements can be transformed into a rotational movement using a measuring wheel or rack and pinion. For mounting the maximum permissible shaft loads of the encoder must be taken into account.

Mounting the angle bracket on a resilient base protects the encoder against too high a stress due to roughness of the material.
