Pluto Encoder for Position and Speed Monitoring

plutosafetyencoders

Up to 16 absolute encoders can be connected to the Pluto CAN bus. One of the Pluto units on the bus must have software option for communication with the encoders. This special Pluto sends cyclic a sync telegram, which trigs all encoders on the bus to read the position and send a telegram with the position value back to the bus. The special Pluto can read the encoder telegrams and evaluate them. With block functions in the PLC code it is then possible to make a dual channel function with two encoders. Out of this the user gets failsafe values for position and speed including stand still monitoring and over speed detection.

The encoders are standard absolute encoders with modified software to meet the safety requirements.

Reaction Time:

The encoders are read every 10 ms. The system tolerates that a single reading of an encoder fails, but if two or more fails, it leads to failure alarm. This leads to the response times as below.
