Frequently Asked Questions - RU6009 IFM

How to connect the IFM RU6009 rotary encoder?

Before connecting, disconnect power to the installation. Connect according to the diagram on the housing or in the manual. Use an ifm1000/ifm1013 connector or a suitable cable. Unused wires must be insulated.

What are the output signals of the RU6009?

The encoder delivers digital pulses on outputs A, B and index 0. Outputs A and B are 90° out of phase to determine direction of rotation. Inverted signals are available for differential inputs.

What is the maximum cable length for this encoder?

The maximum length depends on the version: 100 m for 5 V TTL version and 300 m for 10...30 V HTL version.

How to mount the IFM RU6009 encoder?

Screw the encoder onto a fixing flange (ref. E60033). Connect the shaft via a flexible coupling to compensate for misalignment. Avoid shocks to the shaft.

What is the supply voltage of the RU6009?

Two versions exist: 5 V TTL or 10...30 V HTL. Check the housing label for the version.

What to do in case of short circuit on outputs?

The outputs are protected: in 5 V TTL version, against short circuit to 0 V; in HTL version, against short circuit to 0 V and L+ (max 1 minute). After a short circuit, the device must be checked.

How to use the zero index of the encoder?

The zero index is a single pulse per mechanical revolution. It serves as a reference after a power outage to find the absolute position within one revolution.

What accessories are available for the RU6009?

The fixing flange E60033 is mentioned in the manual. Check www.ifm.com for other accessories such as connection cables.

How to clean the IFM RU6009 encoder?

Do not use abrasive tools on the shaft. Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid aggressive solvents. Follow mounting instructions to prevent damage.

Where to find the complete datasheet for the RU6009?

The datasheet and other documents are available on the website www.ifm.com. You can also download the manual from notice-facile.com.

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

180° 180° 90°

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.
