The Sendix Profinet IO encoders from Kübler support Fast Start Up (FSU) by remanently saving parameters that were determined during the initial auto-negotiation/auto-crossover and also by remanently saving the IP address. The internal start-up after a reset also ensures speed by using a high-performance embedded operating system. The encoder profile in accordance with "Profile Encoder Version 4.1" and "Identification & Maintenance Functionality in Version 1.16" (IM 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4) is implemented. There are also specific modules for the encoders for the Step7 environment. The encoders support the Isochronous Real-Time mode (IRT). Plug-and-play commissioning is carried out using the "Ezturn for Profinet" software included in the scope of delivery, which can also be used to update the encoder software. All parameters can be programmed via the bus. The bus cover is equipped with 3 x M12 connectors for error-free connection. The sturdy die-cast housing with a protection rating of up to IP67 and the temperature range of -40 to +85 °C also make it suitable for outdoor use.
