Product Description

The 7NC161.7 is a high-performance incremental/absolute encoder interface module designed for industrial automation applications requiring position or speed feedback. This 2003 series encoder module supports both incremental and absolute encoders up to 100 kHz input frequency. With 32-bit resolution, the 7NC161.7 can precisely track over 4 billion positions. This makes it well-suited for closed-loop motion tasks demanding reliable, accurate tracking data. The module accepts encoders operating on either 5 VDC or 24 VDC supply voltages for flexibility.

For connectivity, the 7NC161.7 utilizes a 15-pin connector to interface compatible incremental or absolute encoders. This screw-in style module simplifies installation in distributed I/O applications. It measures 7.09 x 6.3 x 8.27 inches and weighs 1.32 pounds for a rugged, compact form factor. Capable of 100 kHz input frequencies across quadrature incremental or SSI/BiSS absolute encoder signals, this module captures position, velocity, and acceleration data even for rapid motion profiles. The 32-bit resolution and wide frequency range combine to deliver exceptional tracking fidelity.

Whether utilizing digital incremental quadrature outputs or serial absolute protocols, the 7NC161.7 smoothly interfaces position or speed sensors to provide precise, reliable feedback. This allows closed-loop control of motors, actuators, and other factory automation equipment. With a straightforward setup, industrial-grade durability, and ample performance headroom, the 7NC161.7 cost-effectively brings high-accuracy encoder connectivity to motion control architectures. It helps machine builders maximize production efficiency.
