Frequently Asked Questions - RU6013 IFM

How to connect the RU6013 encoder?

Follow the wiring diagram on the housing cover. Use the male connector ifm1000 (15-pin) or the ifm1013 cable. Respect the wire colors: L+ (brown), 0V (gray), A (green), B (white), index 0 (yellow). Insulate unused wires.

What is the required supply voltage?

The encoder is available in 5 V TTL or 10...30 V HTL version. Check the housing label to identify the version. The outputs are short-circuit protected.

What output signals does the encoder provide?

The encoder delivers digital signals on outputs A, B and index 0, as well as their inverted signals. Outputs A and B are phase-shifted by 90° to determine the direction of rotation. The zero index is emitted once per mechanical revolution.

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. Use shielded cables and keep them away from interference sources (min. distance 20 cm).

How to mount the RU6013 encoder?

Screw the encoder onto a mounting flange (ref. E60033). Connect the shaft via a flexible coupling to compensate for misalignment. Avoid shocks to the shaft. Measuring wheels or rack-and-pinion can convert linear displacements.

What are the safety precautions?

Disconnect the installation from power before any connection. Insulate unused wires to avoid short circuits. Observe the voltage and current limits.

How to maintain the encoder?

Avoid mechanical shocks to the shaft. Do not use files or abrasive tools. Ensure the coupling is in good condition. No specific cleaning is required.

Where to find accessories and spare parts?

Visit www.ifm.com for the datasheet, accessories (mounting flange, cables) and certificates.

Can the encoder be repaired?

The encoder is a sealed device. In case of failure, it is recommended to replace it. Contact IFM customer service for more information.

What is the function of the zero index?

The zero index provides a single reference pulse per mechanical revolution. It allows establishing an absolute reference, useful after a power failure.

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.
