Knowing

which way the wind is blowing.

Wind power systems must

operate at near 100 %

availability – hence quality

and reliability are extremely

important.

Variable-speed, pitch-

controlled systems are the

current state-of-the-art

in wind energy system

construction. They can be

efficiently deployed in the

harsh conditions prevalent

in both onshore and off-

shore operations.

Build on SICK‘s compe-

tence – a competence

demonstrated by over

ten years’ experience in

this sector and more than

20,000 encoders installed

in pitch-controlled systems.

Absolute encoder A3M60

– built to last.

The A3M60 is an extremely

robust absolute multiturn

encoder in a 60 mm

housing. Even under the

harshest environmental

conditions both onshore

and offshore, the multi-

turn encoder achieves

maximum reliability via its

magnetic, and thus extre-

mely robust, scanning func-

tion. The innovative and

gearless multiturn techno-

logy reduces the number

of moveable parts on the

A3M60 to a minimum. This

results in a longer service

life with reduced mainte-

nance requirements.

Absolute encoder AFM60

– the wonder of precision.

With 30-bit resolution and

a high level of robustness,

the new absolute multiturn

encoder AFM60 sets a new

record. Even its little brother

– the absolute singleturn

encoder AFS60 – impressive

due to its high 18-bit

resolution, counts as one

of the best products in its

55INDUSTRY GUIDE WIND POWER | SICK2010 - 09

market segment. The single

resolution, as well as the

zero point or offset are

programmable.

The two new product fami-

lies are especially suitable

for application in the harsh

conditions prevalent in wind

power systems – in other

words, when the highest

levels of accuracy and

availability are called for.

Absolute encoder ATM60

– the classic design.

The absolute multiturn

encoders ATM60 are imple-

mented using mechanical

drives – they deliver the

revolution information very

reliably and free from inter-

ference. The principle of

operation is such that a

sensor scans permanent

magnetic elements

AZIMUTH SYSTEM

ROTATIONAL SPEED CONTROLLERPITCH SYSTEM

arranged on a magnetic

scale. This makes high

precision possible due to

the high base resolution of

8,192 steps per revolution.

Extremely robust

and extremely precise.

Incremental encoder

DGS35 – the robust design.

The incremental encoders

DGS35 are used in the

harshest conditions across

the globe. The stable design

with an enclosure rating

of up to IP 66 ensures for

a robust but nevertheless

high-resolution incremental

encoder. Equipped with a

through hollow shaft with

a maximum diameter of

30 mm, the DGS family is

suitable for use in every

application.

Incremental encoder

DFS60 – the rotary design.

The DFS60 is a high-reso-

lution incremental encoder

in a 60 mm design. The

DFS60 is unique in its class

with a maximum number

of lines as high as 65,536.

Excellent concentricity and

exceptional robustness

are achieved thanks to the

large distance between

the ball bearings which

support the encoder shaft.

The DFS60 is therefore pre-

destined for application in

wind power systems.

A mechanical interface for

all relevant electronic

encoder interfaces:

incremental (DFS60),

absolute (AFS/AFM60) and

motor feedback systems

(SFS/SFM60).

Motor feedback systems

SFS60, SFM60 with

HIPERFACE

interface.

HIPERFACE

motor feed-

back systems comprise a

combination of incremen-

tal and absolute encoders,

successfully uniting the

advantages of both enco-

der types. They are parti-

cularly suited for absolute

position finding, with the

number of steps being

32,768 per revolution and

with a maximum of 4,096

revolutions – that gives

a total resolution of

134,217,728 steps in

the case of the multiturn

design. The speed moni-

toring function is enabled

via sine/cosine signals.

The storing of motor-spe-

cific data in the electronic

type label as well as the

programming function are

further important features

of these series.

The HIPERFACE

inter-

face, which is used in

applications across the

globe, facilitates the com-

missioning of these motor

feedback systems.
