1. Model and ID analysis
1. Basic model: ERN1387
Series positioning: It belongs to the ERN 1300 series incremental encoder, featuring high precision and high reliability, and is suitable for industrial automation (such as CNC machine tools, servo systems, and precision machinery).
Core features:
Standard resolution 2048 lines/turn (higher precision can be achieved through electronic subdivision).
The output signal is a differential sine wave (1Vpp) or TTL/RS422 level, with strong anti-interference ability and support for long-distance transmission (up to 100 meters).
It uses a stainless steel shaft and metal housing, with a protection level of IP64 (dustproof and splashproof), suitable for harsh industrial environments.
2. Meaning of ID 749147-59
Heidenhain's ID number usually includes interface type, power supply specifications, cable configuration, version information, etc. According to the official naming rules:
749147:
Represents the power supply voltage and signal type: it may be 5-24V wide voltage input (compatible with the wide voltage requirements of modern servo systems), and the output signal is RS422 differential signal (supporting higher-speed data transmission).
In some IDs of the same series, "749147" corresponds to the EnDat 2.2 protocol interface (but please note: the ERN1387 series is mainly incremental, EnDat is usually used for absolute encoders, and here it may be incremental signal + specific interface).
59:
May represent cable length or connector type: for example, "59" corresponds to a 5-meter shielded cable, and the interface is a Heidenhain standard 12-pin plug (model such as 538703-XX), or a specially customized anti-bending cable (suitable for mobile axis applications).
II. Key parameters (refer to official typical values)
