3. Core advantages

(1) Reliable communication in extreme environments

Corrosion-resistant stainless steel housing: suitable for chemical and marine high salt spray environments

Wide temperature electronic components: stable operation in metallurgical high temperatures (+120°C) or extremely cold areas (-40°C)

Anti-electromagnetic interference: passed EN 61000-6-4 industrial EMC certification

(2) PROFINERT real-time performance

IRT isochronous synchronization: jitter <1μs, suitable for multi-axis collaboration (such as continuous casting machine fan-shaped segment control)

PROFIenergy integration: supports equipment sleep mode and reduces energy consumption

GSDML fast integration: compatible with PLC platforms such as Siemens TIA Portal and Beckhoff TwinCAT

(3) Zero-maintenance multi-turn technology

Mechanical gear energy storage: multi-turn data does not require batteries, with a lifespan of up to 100,000 turns

Power-off position retention: absolute encoding, no need to return to zero after restart

4. Typical applications

Metallurgical industry: hot rolling mill roll gap control (high temperature + multi-axis synchronization)

Ship power: steering gear angle feedback (anti-salt spray corrosion)

Oil drilling: downhole tool positioning (explosion-proof + high vibration environment)

Heavy-duty AGV: outdoor logistics vehicle steering control (IP69K anti-high pressure washing)
