Roten UR 142

Roten UR 142 is a high-performance rotary encoder designed for usage in industrial automation applications. It provides reliable and accurate measurement of rotation, speed, and direction of the shafts.

Features

• High resolution: up to 2048 pulses per revolution
• Industrial-grade design: durable and resistant to harsh environments
• Wide operating temperature range: from -40°C to 85°C
• IP67 protection rating: dustproof and waterproof
• Multiple output options: digital, analog, and incremental

Applications

Roten UR 142 is ideal for various industrial automation applications, such as:

• Robotics
• CNC machines
• Printing and packaging machines
• Conveyor systems
• Wind turbines
• Elevators and escalators

Programming Interface

Roten UR 142 can be easily integrated into various programming languages and platforms, such as C/C++, Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, and more.

Here is an example code snippet for reading the encoder output using Python:

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO

def on_pulse(channel):
    global count
    count += 1

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

A_PIN = 17
B_PIN = 18

GPIO.setup(A_PIN, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)
GPIO.setup(B_PIN, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)

GPIO.add_event_detect(A_PIN, GPIO.RISING, callback=on_pulse)
GPIO.add_event_detect(B_PIN, GPIO.RISING, callback=on_pulse)

count = 0

while True:
    print("Count: {}".format(count))

In the above code, we are using the Raspberry Pi GPIO library to read the encoder output. We are setting up two input pins for channel A and channel B, and using the add_event_detect function to detect rising edges on both pins. Whenever a pulse is detected, the on_pulse function is called, which increments the count variable. Finally, we are printing the current count value in an infinite loop.

Conclusion

Roten UR 142 is a versatile and reliable rotary encoder that can be used in a wide range of industrial automation applications. With its high resolution, industrial-grade design, and multiple output options, it provides accurate and stable measurement of rotation, speed, and direction.
