Frequently Asked Questions - RU6016 IFM

What are the main types of output signals of the RU6016 encoder?

The encoder provides digital signals on outputs A, B and index 0. Outputs A and B are phase-shifted by 90° to determine the direction of rotation. The zero index is output once per mechanical revolution and serves as a reference.

What supply voltage is required for the RU6016?

Two versions are available: 5 V TTL and 10...30 V HTL. Short-circuit protection depends on the version.

How to electrically connect the encoder?

Disconnect the system from power before any connection. Use the male connector ifm1000.xx (15-pole) or the cable ifm1013.xx. The L+ and sensor 0 V wires are internally connected to the power supply. Unused wires must be insulated.

What is the maximum allowed 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.

Is the encoder protected against short circuits?

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

How to mechanically mount the encoder?

Use the mounting flange E60033. Mounting on a spring base protects the encoder from excessive stress. Observe the mounting dimensions (Ø50, Ø42, etc.).

Can linear displacements be measured with this encoder?

Yes, by using a measuring wheel or a pinion and rack to convert linear displacement into rotation.

Where to find the datasheet and accessories?

Visit www.ifm.com for the datasheet and appropriate accessories.

How to use the zero index?

The zero index is output once per mechanical revolution. In case of a power outage, it can serve as a reference to find the position.

What safety precautions should be taken during connection?

Disconnect the system from power before connecting or disconnecting cables. Insulate unused wires to avoid short circuits.

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

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

output A

output B

0 index

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!

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.
