Frequently Asked Questions - RN6009 IFM

How to connect the RN6009 encoder?

Before any connection, power off the installation. Use a shielded cable with a maximum length of 20 m (5V version) or 100 m (10-30V version). Connect the shielding to the encoder housing, connector, and ground. Refer to the wiring table in the manual to correctly assign the wires.

What is the meaning of the enable A and B wires?

The Freigabe A and Freigabe B signals (enable A and B) allow data transmission activation. A low level on enable A activates the output of the high-order bits (3-10 or 7-12 depending on resolution), while a low level on enable B activates the output of the low-order bits (1-2 or 1-6).

How to select the rotation direction?

For 8 to 10 bit versions, the rotation direction is selected by connecting the MSB wire. Connect MSB for clockwise rotation, or leave it disconnected for counterclockwise rotation. For higher versions, the direction is fixed.

What is the maximum resolution of the RN6009?

The encoder offers up to 12 bits of resolution, i.e., 4096 steps per revolution. The resolution is indicated on the device label. Depending on the version, you can have 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 bits.

What supply voltage can I use?

Two versions exist: 5 V DC with TTL output (6 mA) and 10-30 V DC with HTL output (20 mA). Check the label of your device for the exact version.

Is the encoder protected against short circuits?

Yes, the outputs are protected against a short circuit between the outputs and U_N or U_P for a duration less than 1 minute. In case of prolonged short circuit, the device may be damaged.

What is the maximum rotation speed?

The maximum mechanical speed is 10,000 min⁻¹. The electrical speed depends on the resolution: 6000 min⁻¹ for ≤10 bits, 3000 min⁻¹ for 11 bits, and 1500 min⁻¹ for 12 bits.

Can I use an unshielded cable?

It is strongly recommended to use a shielded cable to avoid electromagnetic disturbances. An unshielded cable can cause measurement errors. Install the cable at least 20 cm away from interference sources.

How to mount the encoder on a motor?

Mount a flexible coupling between the encoder and the motor to avoid damaging the shaft or bearings. Avoid shocks to the shaft during mounting. Use the E60034 fixing flange if necessary.

What to do in case of malfunction?

First check the wiring and power supply. Ensure that the enables are correctly connected (low level or unused). If the problem persists, consult the complete manual or contact IFM technical support.

USER MANUAL RN6009 IFM

Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with no visible text or symbols

Function and features

The encoder converts rotary movements into digital numerical values. Each revolution is given as a numerical value. These values allow angular movements to be measured and positions to be determined.

• Supply voltage and number of steps according to the type label.
• Max. permissible mechanical: 10,000min ^-1
- Max. permissible electrical: 6000min^-1 ( ≤ 10 bit); 3000min^-1 (11bit); 1500min^-1 (12bit)
- The outputs are protected against a short circuit between the outputs and U_N or U_P for < 1 min.

Installation

Disconnect power. The drive must not be started during installation.

The encoder shaft must not be hit; do not use a file or a similar tool on the shaft, it could destroy the unit.

Encoder and drive should be connected by means of a flexible coupling in order to avoid damage to the shaft and the bearing.

In the case of linear measurement with rack and pinion the angle flange should be mounted on a resilient base. In the case of linear measure-ment with a measuring wheel encoder and measuring wheel should be mounted on the end of a flexible arm.

Electrical connection

Disconnect power before connection /disconnection of the cable or plug and socket connection.

Output signals:

• 5V version: TTL output, 6mA
  • 10-30V version: HTL output 20mA, short-circuit protection

Extension by means of a screened extension cable; max. length 20m (5V version), 100m (10-30V version); lay separately from sources of interference (min. spacing approx. 20cm). Connect the encoder housing, the connector / terminal box and the evaluation electronics via the screen.

Pulse diagram

• high-impedance signal outputs
- release A = low:

tracks 3 to 10 to output (8... 10bit version)

tracks 7 to 12 to output (11 and 12bit TTL version)

- release B = low:

tracks 1 to 2 to output (8 ... 10bit version)

tracks 1 to 6 to output (11 and 12bit TTL version)

- release A and release B simultaneously low:

tracks 1 to 8 (1 to 9; 1 to 10; 1 to 11; 1 to 12) to output

Release

When unused or at 0 V the data are permanently present at the output. At high level the tracks are blocked.

MSB (change the direction of rotation)

For encoders with 8, 9 and 10 bits the direction of rotation can be selected via the connection:

connection MSB = clockwise rotation

connection MSB = anticlockwise rotation
