HEIDENHAIN Now Offers an Encoder Interface Box to Output to Siemens Controls
SCHAUMBURG, IL (January 2013) – In an effort to increase encoder compatibility with Siemens controls, HEIDENHAIN has developed the EIB 2391S interface box. Ideal for applications with SINAMICS drive components, the EIB 2391S enhances the serial interface offering for many of HEIDENHAIN’s absolute encoders. HEIDENHAIN’s interface electronics have been noted as the best in the industry for safely transmitting and converting analog and digital encoder output signals. The EIB 2391S makes it possible to convert a HEIDENHAIN encoder’s output signal from EnDat 2.2 to DRIVE CLiQ. With IP 65 and
