Lika Electronic Srl (Italy) - Lika Electronic exhibits the new absolute encoders with Profinet interface, the Ethernet-based technology devised to apply established information technology standards to advanced industrial automation.

Lika Electronic is proud to announce it has reached a new innovation milestone. First in Italy, Lika introduces a complete range of Profinet-certified absolute encoders. Available in both low cost 27-bit resolution multiturn EM- series and high resolution singleturn (18-bit) and multiturn (30-bit) H-series, Profinet IO encoders fully comply with the Encoder Profile Specifications V4.1 version 3.162 based on the PROFIdrive profile.

Furthermore they fulfill the requirements of the Application Classes 3 and 4 and support both the RT real-time transmission mode and the IRT isochronous real-time mode to meet precise and deterministic data exchange needs (jitter less than 1 µs and cycle time down to 1 ms).

Profinet encoders support the standard telegrams 81, 82, 83 and 84 and implement advanced functions such as full scaling, preset, code sequence, position and velocity readout, diagnostic information. Among the key benefits: real time communication, deterministic synchronization, complete diagnostics, IT integration.
