Transmission of data between devices plays a pivotal role in maintaining communication within industrial automation. But, who (or rather, WHAT) is continuously communicating in those devices? Enter Ethernet/IP Encoders.
The 843E encoder technology utilizes ethernet communication protocol to ensure a constant flow of information between PLCs, sensors, and other vital automation components, ultimately enhancing the efficiency of the entire system.
Allen Bradley, a subsidiary of Rockwell Automation, offers a product designed to deliver precise feedback for position control and high-resolution incremental feedback for speed control. The 843E Absolute Encoders with Ethernet/IP not only ensures accurate performance but also provides customers with the convenience of IP67 Environment rating, dual-port Ethernet, and M12 connectors. This results in a straightforward and cost-effective installation process, making the 843E Absolute Encoders an excellent choice for industrial applications.
