RPE-PV Programmable Rotary Encoder

Newall’s RPE-PV features a dynamic encoder resolution capability that allows users to easily program the encoder resolution to any value between 1 and 10,000 counts per revolution.

Users can program and reprogram the encoder’s resolution on site as needed. Using the optional programming cable, connect the encoder to a computer via the USB port. Simply enter the new resolution and click ‘Program’. A new resolution is now programmed. It’s just that simple.

Benefits:

Simple to program
Installs just like a standard encoder
Instant positive indication of the programmed value
Take the guesswork out of encoder resolution
High speed operation due to high base count
Wide range of possible counts per revolution CPR - 1 to 10,000
Automatic index pulse positioning
Easily change CPR for prototyping situations and machine set-ups
Reduce stock of different CRP encoders for maintenance (keep just one type in stock and program it as needed)
