MR340 Incremental Controller for MR340__ Series Sensors

Part no.: MR340 Incremental Controller for MR340__ Series Sensors

Key Features

• 100% passive sensing design no electronics whatsoever

• Linear and rotary sensor configurations

• Sensor can be installed in all manner of hazardous locations and potentially explosive atmospheres

• Immune to EMI and RFI

The MR340-1 DIN Rail Mount Controller is the active optical and electrical interface for the MR340 Series ZapFREE Fiber Optic Incremental Encoder System. The system is an innovative all-optical design immune to any electromagnetic interferences such as magnetic fields, lightning, voltage, and other harsh environment conditions.
As the incremental code passes through an MR34X Sensors internal optical pick-up, the phase output of two
light beams creates the classical A/B quadrature signals accessible via the controllers electrical interface.
The controller keeps track of position and also calculates the RPM and speed of the connected encoder Both position and speed can be read via RS485 Modbus RTU serial interface, USB, SSI or analog output. The analog output can be configured for either ±10V or 4-20mA output.

When COTS Isn’t Enough: Why You Need a NIST 800.171 Compliant Supplier Like Everight Position

The COTS Conundrum: In today’s digital landscape, Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) sensors seem like an easy button for compliances purposes. They’re readily available, cost-effective, and offer familiar functionality. But when it comes to identifying strategic suppliers, COTS alone isn’t enough.

What is a multiturn rotary encoder?

A multiturn rotary encoder is a sensor that measures the angle of rotation of a shaft, as well as the number of complete revolutions that the shaft has made. This is in contrast to a single-turn encoder, which only measures the angle of rotation, 0 – 360°. Multiturn encoders are used in a variety of applications where it is important to track the position of a moving object, such as in machine tools, robotics, and automation systems.

Facing the Inevitable: Sensor Obsolescence, Mitigation Strategies, and Alternatives

Obsolescence. If its only difficulty was remembering how it is spelled it wouldn’t be so bad. And whether you’re trying to replace a sensor that has failed with age or are a manufacturer who can no longer source an important sensor, obsolescence of an inexpensive sensor can create extremely expensive headache. At Everight Position we help customers to understand the causes of sensor obsolescence, explore mitigation strategies and find alternative solutions.
