All the different configurations are managed by the system master.<br \/>\nMEM-Bus encoders can be supplied both in single- and in multiturn version, with high resolution values: 13 bit for the singleturn encoder,  29 bit for the multiturn type (8192 steps\/revolution x 65536 revolutions).<br \/>\nDifferent mechanical versions are available to satisfy all application requirements: MEM520 &#8211; \u00d8.58 mm round flanged with servo coupling, MEM540 &#8211; \u00d8 58 round flanged with \u00d8 36 mm centering mask, MEM620 &#8211; 63.5X63.5 square flanged, and MEM410 -with hollow shaft to couple directly to a motor shaft. All the types offer different options for the shaft\/hole diameter; the electrical connection is by cables: two or three cable glands option is  available.<br \/>\nThe stout aluminium case ensures a high protection degree, so that it is possible to use MEM-Bus encoders in severe industrial environments.<br \/>\nThe innovative electronic construction technology &#8211; involving no mechanical gear &#8211;allow to reach high acceleration and speed values and grants the transducer  a long life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The PROFIBUS communication protocol is widely used in industrial networks: thanks to their PROFIBUS DP interface the new ELAP MEM-Bus encoders can be easily integrated in all systems managed by PLC controllers.
