PARAMETRIZANDO O ENCODER INCREMENTAL PROGRAMÁVEL DSF60B PARA SUBSTITUIR ENCODERS CONVENCIONAIS

Abstract

This article discusses the replacement of conventional incremental encoders with programmable incremental encoders, a crucial solution for overcoming limitations in industrial automation systems. Conventional encoders are static and often inadequate for scenarios that require flexibility and adaptability. A flexible solution was introduced using a programmable encoder and SOPAS software for its programming, compared to a conventional incremental encoder, analyzing the specific characteristics of each device. The research method involved analyzing each hardware, identifying points of divergence between each of the elements. This included configuring communication with the encoder, selecting parameters such as pulse count or resolution, phase shift, electrical interface, and real-time visualization of position values. The results achieved included the versatility obtained in the use of programmable encoders, as various configurations are changeable and can adapt to process needs, while the conventional encoder brings hardware that is less adaptable to changes. Additionally, it highlighted the ability of a single programmable encoder to replace multiple conventional models, simplifying inventory management and reducing costs. Overall, programming the programmable incremental encoder through SOPAS provided the versatility that conventional encoders lack. The use of this technology can optimize industrial processes, improve efficiency, and contribute to more precise control in modern industrial operations.
