Versatile
Choice of Mounting Styles and Enclosures
To match almost any
application, the DigiSolver is available in various mounting
styles and housings. The housing Size 25 and 40 are standard for
single-turn units, whereas the multiturn units are available
only in a Size 40 housing.
Size
25-2.5" (63.5 mm) dia.,
NEMA 13 housing is designed for medium-duty applications and is
available for flange or servo mount with an MS-connector located
at the end or on the side.
The
Size 40-4.0" (101.6 mm) dia.,
NEMA 13 housing with internal helical coupling and double bearing
is designed for heavy duty applications and is available for face
mount with end-mounted MS-connector or conduit fitting.
Explosion-proof-FM approved,
Division 1, Class 1, Groups B, C, and D units comes in Size
40-4.0" (101.6 mm) dia. housings for both single-turn and
multi-turn models.
Variety
of Outputs
The DigiSolver is available with Binary, Gray Code, BCD, or Analog
absolute position output formats. A further flexibility to
interface to other devices is provided by TTL (5 V logic), PNP
(sourcing) transistor (50 VDC @ 100 mA) or NPN (sinking)
transistor (50 VDC @ 100 niA)-types of outputs. The analog
position or tach output can be 0-10 VDC or 4-20 mA signal.

Velocity,
Direction, Count, and Reference Outputs In
addition to the above described position outputs, optional analog
velocity (0- 10 VDC or 4-20 mA), direction, count, and reference
marker outputs are also available. This is especially useful in
servo control systems, where position and velocity feedback is
required. In such cases the DigiSolver can replace both the
position transducer and the tachometer.
5
VDC or 8-30 VDC Voltage Range
The standard models are available, which can operate with either a
5 VDC or 8-30 VDC power supply. This wide-voltage range provides
an increased flexibility in using the DigiSolver in control
systems of different voltage levels without requiring an extra
power supply. An existing power supply can be used to power the
DigiSolver, that is, if a PLC operates at 24 VDC, an 8-30 VDC
DigiSolver model can be connected to the same power supply,
cutting system costs.
Flexible
Programming of Counts-per-Turn
The advanced R-to-D converter used in the DigiSolver has made it
possible to order any number of scaled BCD countsper-revolution.
The BCD output with counts-per-turn of 360, 1000, and 3600 is
standard. However, the unit can be delivered with custom-scaled
counts if so desired.
Consult
the factory for special
configurations or higher resolution.
Multiplexing
Capability
The TTL-type output of the DigiSolver is provided with tristate
capability and can be wired logic-OR. This allows more than one
unit to be connected to the same input of a PLC.
SHORT-CIRCUIT- PROOF OUTPUTS
Very often electricians try to make or change connections
under power and that is when various electrical devices are
damaged by shorting. The DigiSolver is available with
shortcircuit-proof PNP (sourcing) transistor outputs. An
accidental short on the DigiSolver's output will not damage the
unit. When short-circuit-proof outputs are ordered,
field-selectable direction-of-rotation for ascending counts is
also provided.
