Our new WV3650M and WH3650M are the second generation of the 36 mm series of absolute rotary encoders. Thanks to the new architecture, the encoders are compact in design and now offer IO-Link as an interface option. New intelligent features make these sensors perfect for your future Industry 4.0 machines. Having either a hollow (WH3650M) or solid (WV3650M) shaft design, the series of absolute rotary encoders is available in either an IO-Link or Standard Serial Interface (SSI) version. The IO-Link version is supplied with Version 1.1 according to IEC 61131-9. This version is equipped with the latest communication and diagnostic features. Information relevant to system availability, including data such as temperature, operating hours, and other key operational values, are provided in addition to process related position and speed values.
