by Danaher
The Danaher AI2500172B323 encoder, part of the Dynapar Encoders series, is an absolute optical position sensor designed for precise motion control in industrial automation applications. Boasting a single-turn resolution of 10–14 bits and a multi-turn resolution of 12 bits, it delivers high-fidelity position feedback. The encoder supports the Profibus-DP interface, enabling seamless integration into distributed control systems. Operating at an input voltage range of 10–30 VDC, it maintains low power consumption with 220 mA in single-turn mode and 250 mA in multi-turn configuration.
This device provides an absolute accuracy of ~0.01 mechanical (36 arc-sec) and repeatability of ~0.002 mechanical (7.2 arc-sec), ensuring consistent performance under demanding conditions. The frequency response spans 9.6 kBaud to 12 MBaud, adapting to varying communication speeds. Installation is simplified by offering multiple shaft diameters—6 mm servo mount, 10 mm clamping mount, and 3/8 in square flange mount. The onboard diagnostics feature continuously monitors encoder health, allowing preemptive maintenance and minimizing downtime in critical motion control systems.
Engineered for rugged environments, the AI2500172B323 operates across a temperature range of –40 to +85 °C and carries an enclosure rating of IP64/IP67 for dust and water ingress protection. Its binary output code ensures fast, unambiguous data transfer, while the Profibus-DP (Encoder Profile) guarantees compatibility with standard industrial controllers. The combination of robust construction, precise optical encoding, and advanced diagnostics makes this encoder an ideal choice for robotics, CNC machinery, and automated production lines. Leveraging these capabilities, users benefit from enhanced reliability, reduced maintenance costs, and improved throughput in complex industrial applications.
