EXO58 & EXM58 Ethernet Encoders With Energy Harvesting Technology

The EXO58 and EXM58 are the new series of absolute rotary encoders with Ethernet interfaces from Lika Electronic. They integrate the Energy Harvesting Technology and offer the most popular Ethernet interfaces available on the industrial market: Profinet, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, POWERLINK, Modbus TCP, and CC-Link. Experience them firsthand at the SPS, 12 to 14 November in Nuremberg (DE), Hall 4A Booth 325.

New Series of Encoders

The EXO58 and EXM58 are the new series of absolute rotary encoders with Ethernet interfaces from Lika Electronic.

The EXO series encoders are equipped with high accuracy optical sensing technology while the EXM series encoders mount a robust magnetic sensing circuit.

They are designed in a complete selection of mechanical versions: solid shaft versions with 6, 8, 9.52, 10, and 12 mm (0.24”, 0.31”, 3/8”, 0.39”, 0.47”) diameter and servo or clamp flange mounting; and blind hollow shaft versions with 14 and 15 mm (0.55”, 0.59”) diameter. The industrial 58 mm (2.283″) flange enclosure enables IP65 protection. The range of the working temperature is comprised between -25°C and +85°C (-13°F to +185°F) to cover most industrial applications.

Compared to the previous series, the new encoders are lighter and more compact also thanks to the integration of the Energy Harvesting Technology circuit. It enables the multiturn counter to be battery-free and gearless and the risk of mechanical failures to be significantly reduced at the same time. 

EXO58 & EXM58 series encoders can be equipped with the most popular Ethernet interfaces available on the industrial market: Profinet, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, POWERLINK, Modbus TCP, and also CC-Link.

Key Features

They can offer:

• user-friendly Integrated Web Server for easy and quick configuration and diagnostics;
• firmware upgrade capability;
• comprehensive diagnostic functions both via five duo LEDs and via software;
• IP addressing via hardware switches and via software (including DHCP server);
• flexible network architecture compatible with commercially available Ethernet installation options

Singleturn versions provide resolutions up to 18 bits while multiturn versions provide resolutions up to 30 bits. They have an axial connector outlet. Also, the Universal power supply circuit enables an input voltage of +5Vdc +30Vdc.
