Frequently Asked Questions - RO1363 IFM

What is the supply voltage of the RO1363 encoder?

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

How to connect the RO1363 encoder?

Refer to the wiring diagram on the housing cover. Disconnect power before any connection. Use the 12-pin male connector or 13-wire cable depending on the version.

What is the maximum permitted cable length?

For the 5 V TTL version: 100 meters. For the 10...30 V HTL version: 300 meters. Cables must be installed at least 20 cm from interference sources.

How to mount the RO1363 encoder on a shaft?

Insert the shaft of at least 10 mm into the encoder. Secure the stator coupling with four M3 screws, then tighten the clamping nut. Avoid shocks to the shaft.

What are the output signals of the encoder?

The encoder provides outputs A, B (90° phase shift to determine rotation direction) and an index 0 (one pulse per mechanical revolution). Inverted signals are available for differential inputs.

Is the encoder protected against short circuits?

Yes, the outputs are protected: 5 V version against short circuits to 0 V; HTL version against short circuits to 0 V and L+ (max. 1 minute).

What to do with unused wires during connection?

Unused wires must be individually insulated to avoid short circuits or unauthorized intermediate connections.

Where to find the technical data sheet and accessories?

The technical data sheet, additional documents, and suitable accessories are available at www.ifm.com.

How to maintain the encoder?

Avoid shocks to the shaft and do not use abrasive tools. Clean the device with a dry cloth if necessary. No special maintenance is required.

Can I use the encoder to measure linear displacements?

Yes, you can convert linear displacements into rotation using a measuring wheel or a pinion and rack. Observe the maximum permissible loads on the shaft.

USER MANUAL RO1363 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

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

Standard wiring:

	Flange plug 13-wire cable 12-pole
L+ M brown/green
L+ sensor B blue
0V K white/green
0V sensor L white
A E brown
A neg. F	green
B	H	grey
B neg. A	pink
0 index	C	red
0 index neg.	D	black
fault neg.	G lilac
free	-	-
free	-	yellow
screen	housing	housing

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

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

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

Continuous hollow shaft

1. Place the clamping nut on the encoder.
2. Slip the encoder onto the shaft (min. 10mm ) and fix the stator coupling by means of four M3 screws.
3. Tighten the screws of the clamping nut.

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.
