With an extremly short cycle time of 62.5 µs our absolute encoder »ATD 4B A 4 Y11« with EtherCAT interface opens a new dimension of real time communication between drives and their control systems.

EtherCAT is the most powerful Ethernet based approach for industrial automation and control.
Short cycle time associated with low data sampling jitter makes it possible to break into new application areas of industrial automation and motion control.

The extremely compact and versatile encoder may be used as a conventional absolute encoder for sensing of positioning data and -at the same time- it may be used as feedback unit for the lowest control loops of the drive.
