Important information on the rotary encoder connection cap
The degree of protection for the rotary encoder with the connection cap that can be removed by the customer must, at the least,
meet IP65 rating when mounted for variants P**58X-*********-**** and IP66 for variants of P**58X-******W**-****. This applies to
connection caps with cable gland connection.
– For the middle and right cable gland (with view at the outside of the connector cap and cable glands pointing downwards) only
cables with sheath diameter of 7.0 to 9.0 mm have to be used. For the left cable gland with the smaller insert only cables with
sheath diameter of 5.0 to 6.5 mm have to be used. The cables must be correctly assembled by the operator and screwed on
to the cable gland so as to permanently guarantee, depending on the variant the IP65/IP66 rating. Assembly information can
be found in the Profibus manual. Unused cable glands are to be filled with an appropriate blind plug in such a way as to ensure
permanent, depending on the variant IP65/IP66 protection.
– Cable glands must be tightened to at least 6.5 Nm.
– The screws on the removable connection cap placed on the rotary encoder must be tightened to at least 1 Nm.
The connection cap and the connection cap cables must not be separated when energized. The apparatus bears the warning:
"Do not separate when energized!". With the connection cap disconnected, soiling of the internal area must be prevented.(i.e.
the area that is inaccessible when the connector is inserted).
Rotary encoder spurs must be protected from pull and torsion stress.
Operation
The mechanical and electrical key values (e.g. ambient temperature, speed, mechanical load, max. supply voltage, etc.) of the
acquired apparatus may in no case exceed the permitted manufacturer data.
The overall system of rotary encoders with evaluation electronics is designed for a maximum momentary rated speed of 6.000
RPM. Sustained operation of over 3000 RPM is to be avoided, due to the expected premature wear of sealing elements.
Longer-lasting interferences that cause the rated voltage to be exceeded must be suppressed through appropriate measures tak-
en by the operator.
Dust must not be allowed to accumulate to more than 5 mm. The device must not be opened.
Special conditions
The permitted ambient temperature is to be taken from this operating instructions (see „General technical information") depend-
ing on the applicable construction and rotational speed.
The maximum rated voltage of the apparatus, depending on version, ranges from 5 volts to 30 volts and may be exceeded by a
maximum of 10%. The rated voltage should only briefly be exceeded in order to ensure the lasting technical operation of the ap-
paratus.The operator must take measures to prevent the rated voltage from being exceeded by more than 40% through tempo-
rary interference (transients).
Electrostatic charging of the metal housing parts should be avoided. Hazardous electrostatic charging of metal-housing parts can
be prevented by grounding or integration into potential equalization, whereby very small metal-housing parts (e.g. screws) need
not be considered. To minimize risk from electrostatic discharge - clean only with a damp cloth.
Only for variants of P**58X-******W**-**** versions with degree of protection IP66, the encoder housing must be protected from
any impact by means of precautions (e.g protective housing).
Upkeep and maintenance
The values given in the data sheet on degree of protection, climate testing, electromagnetic compatibility and shock and vibration
resistance were tested and released in accordance with the specified standard. Encoder operation is assured with regard to
these definitions.
Physical, chemical and mechanical influences determine the useful life of the shaft-side sealing rings. Deterioration, ambient
agents, temperature, and wear and dirt combining with rotational speed are all involved.
The interaction of these influences is very complex. Hence there is no basis for calculating the useful life of the seal rings, but
rather only values gleaned from experience. According to seal-ring manufacturers, under normal conditions, apparatus seals can
reach a useful life of 10,000 operating hours at continuous operation or 3 to 5 years.
Since the fields of application and the demands made on apparatus can be very different, there is no general maintenance cycle
prescribed for this apparatus. Depending on the application, sealing elements on the apparatus such as shaft seal rings or ball-
bearing sealing disk and cable entry point are to be checked for wear at appropriate intervals.
No changes may be made. Only the manufacturer may perform repair work.
