GMA-DP Series encoder is a Profibus-DP interface multi turns absolute encoder, it provides resolution of max.29bits,with Housing Dia.:58mm; Solid Shaft Dia.:10mm,Supply Voltage:5v,8-29v, PROFIBUS bus was the first international, open producer-independent standard fieldbus for building, manufacturing and process automation (in accordance with EN 50170). There are three different versions: Profibus FMS, Profibus PA and Profibus DP. Profibus FMS (Fieldbus Message Specification) is appropriate for object-oriented data exchange in the cell and field area. Profibus PA (Process automation) fulfills the request of the process industry and can be used for the intrinsically safe and not intrinsically safe area. The DP version (decentral peripherie) is for fast data exchange in the field of building and manufacturing automation. POSITAL Profibus encoders are ideal for this area.
