MR340 Incremental Controller for MR340__ Series Sensors

Part no.: MR340 Incremental Controller for MR340__ Series Sensors

Key Features

• 100% passive sensing design no electronics whatsoever

• Linear and rotary sensor configurations

• Sensor can be installed in all manner of hazardous locations and potentially explosive atmospheres

• Immune to EMI and RFI

The MR340-1 DIN Rail Mount Controller is the active optical and electrical interface for the MR340 Series ZapFREE Fiber Optic Incremental Encoder System. The system is an innovative all-optical design immune to any electromagnetic interferences such as magnetic fields, lightning, voltage, and other harsh environment conditions.
As the incremental code passes through an MR34X Sensors internal optical pick-up, the phase output of two
light beams creates the classical A/B quadrature signals accessible via the controllers electrical interface.
The controller keeps track of position and also calculates the RPM and speed of the connected encoder Both position and speed can be read via RS485 Modbus RTU serial interface, USB, SSI or analog output. The analog output can be configured for either ±10V or 4-20mA output.

Improved Encoder Accuracy Brings Hidden Benefits

Capacitive rotary encoders such as those from Netzer Precision are known for their low profile, high noise immunity and excellent accuracy. As a result, they are an excellent choice for applications such as camera systems, radar, slip-rings and robotic joints. Often times in these tasks the encoder is used for velocity feedback, ensuring a smooth […]

Tiny Tech, Big Impact: Rotary Encoders Are a Critical Link the Agrobot Revolution

A recent GlobalData report highlights the impressive growth of the robotics industry in agriculture (reaching $218 billion by 2030), a key component behind this revolution often goes unnoticed: the rotary encoder. These unsung heroes convert rotational motion into precise electrical signals, playing a vital role in ensuring the smooth, accurate movements of agricultural robots.

How Getting Older is Changing Robotics

While it may be noble to develop robotics to help older demographics in society, companies small and large alike have good business reasons to do so. Roughly 10,000 Baby Boomers retire daily. These consumers not only have wants and needs but have worked their whole lives to create a nest egg to fund them. […]

NASA Lunabotics Challenge

Nearly fifty University Teams recently gathered in Florida for the NASA Lunabotics Challenge. The robots are tasked with driving, digging, and depositing regolith—the fragmented rock material that covers the moon’s surface—in a lunar simulant. Beyond robotics and mechatronics, the program teaches team work, project management and industry collaboration.
