Additional information

Product description

The POMUX KH53 non-contact linear en­coder can measure absolute lengths up
to 1,700 m. The encoder consists of two
main components: The non-contact read
head determines the absolute position
using a series of measuring elements
attached along the measurement path.
Each measuring element consists of a
number of permanent magnets. Since
the distances between the magnets are
unique, they can be used to develop an
absolute measuring code. No reference

At a glance

• Non-contact length measurement

– maintenance-free, rugged, long

service life

• High reproducibility (0.3 mm / 1 mm),

high system resolution (0.1 mm)

• SSI and PROFIBUS interfaces

• Determination of absolute position

• Measuring lengths of up to 1,700 m

possible

Your benets

• After installation, the system is

immediately available and completely
maintenance-free, which leads to time
and cost savings

• Reliable determination of position

under harshest ambient conditions
such as the effects of dirt, dust, fog,
shock, and vibration

run is required due to the absolute po­sition being determined. The read head
is passed parallel to these measuring
elements at a distance of 25 mm or
55 mm. With a measuring length of
up to 1,700 m, the KH53 is ideal for
use in cranes, in storage and conveyor
systems, and for railed vehicles. Due to
the non-contact technology, this system
works wear-free even in harsh ambient
conditions,so that a long lifetime is
ensured.

• Can be used in the harshest ambient

conditions

• High traversing speedds of up to

6.6 m/s

• Distance tolerance between read

head and measuring element: up to
55 mm ± 20 mm possible

• High efciency and productivity levels

• Time savings – no reference run nec-

essary on initial commissioning due
to absolute position measurement

• Accurate positioning even with high

mounting tolerances

Number of measuring elements required = measurement path + length of the read head / length of measurement element (accord­ing to table above)

Number of measuring elements required = 101.051 m / 1.8688 m = 54.07

Ordering amount therefore 55 measuring elements and 55 * 3 = 165 clamp holders

If two separate measurement paths are to be implemented, then please order 2 x 55 measuring elements (not 110 measuring elements)

Attention! For position determination, the read head must not travel beyond the last measuring element.

Implementation

DP functionalities

according to PROFIBUS-DP basic functionalities.

DP services

• Data exchange (Write_Read_Data)

• Address allocation (Set_Slave_Address)

• Control commands (Global_Control)

• Reading inputs (Read_Inputs)

• Reading outputs (Read_Outputs)

• Reading diagnostic data (Slave_Diagnosis)

• Sending parameter data (Set_Param)

• Checking conguration data (Chk_Cong)

Communication

• Cyclic master-slave data trafc.

Safety mechanisms

• Transfer of data with HD = 4.

• Time monitoring of data trafc.

Conguration

Settings according to encoder prole

• Counting direction (CW, CCW)

• Class 2 functionality (ON, OFF)

• Scaling function (ON, OFF)

Conguration

Setting the formats (IN/OUT) for the cyclic data exchange

through a conguration byte (K-1).

2 words IN/OUT data (I-1/O-1)
4 words IN/OUT data (I-1, I-2, I-3/O-1)

Data exchange: – Input data (IN)

I-1 Position value 1) 4 bytes
I-2 Speed (0.1 m/min)
I-3 Time stamp

Data exchange: – Output data (out)

O-1 PRESET – Value 1) 4 bytes

Diagnostic information

• Station related diagnostic (63 bytes according to encoder

prole Class 2)

Setting: – PRESET value

The PRESET function is used for commissioning and the alloca­tion of a particular position value to current physical position­ing.
The following settings are possible:

• Via software: – (see Output Data)

Setting: – Counting direction

• Via hardware via hex switch S2

• Via software via telegram

Count direction increasing:

Movement of the encoder from prole item n in the direction of
prole item n+1

Setting: – Station address

• Via hardware via hex switch S1/S2

• Via software via telegram

Setting by software only occurs with prior activation of the “SSA
service”.

General information

The KH53 PROFIBUS is an absolute length measurement
system with a resolution of 100 µm. The bus coupling is inside
the encoder and is an interface connection as PROFIBUS DP
slave according to EN 50170 Vol. 2. Implementation is with the
Siemens PROFIBUS ASIC SPC3.
The KH53 PROFIBUS contains all Class 2 functionalities ac-

cording to the encoder prole (V1.1)

Implementation of the encoder is as a DP slave with the DP
basic functions.

The operating reliability and accuracy of the measuring system depends on (amongst other things) compliance with the position
tolerances. Magnetic or magnetizable materials are not permitted within 80 mm of the encoder or the measuring element.
