Frequently Asked Questions - RV6032 IFM

How to connect the RV6032 encoder?

Turn off the installation. Use the 5-pin male connector (ifm1000.xx) or the 13-wire cable (ifm1013.xx) according to the provided diagram. The L+ (sensor) and 0 V (sensor) wires are connected to the power supply. The shielding is connected to the housing.

What are the possible supply voltages?

The encoder is available in two versions: 5 V TTL and 10...30 V HTL. Check the housing label for the exact version.

What are the output signals?

The encoder provides three signals: A and B phase-shifted by 90° to determine the direction of rotation, and an index 0 once per mechanical revolution. Inverted signals are also available for differential inputs.

What is the maximum cable length?

For the 5 V TTL version, the maximum length is 100 m. For the 10...30 V HTL version, it is 300 m, provided appropriate cables are used.

How to mechanically mount the encoder?

Screw the encoder onto a mounting flange. Connect the shaft via a flexible coupling (bellows or elastic washer) to compensate for misalignments. Avoid impacts on the shaft.

How to protect the encoder against short circuits?

The outputs are protected against short circuits: on 0 V for the TTL version, and on 0 V and L+ for the HTL version (max. 1 minute).

Can I use it to measure linear displacements?

Yes, by associating the encoder with a measuring wheel or a pinion and rack to convert linear motion into rotation.

What to do if the encoder does not work?

Check the electrical connection, power supply, and short-circuit protection. Ensure the shaft is not blocked. Refer to the data sheet at www.ifm.com.

Does the encoder require maintenance?

No, it requires no special maintenance. Simply ensure compliance with installation conditions and avoid excessive mechanical stress.

Where to find the complete documentation?

The data sheet and other documents are available on www.ifm.com. You can also download the manual from the product page.

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

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 100 m for the 5 V TTL version and 300 m 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

The encoder provides digital pulse sequences at the output stages. The outputs A and B are electrically offset by 90^irc . 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

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.
