Preliminary information

This guide is designed to provide the most complete and exhaustive information the operator needs to

correctly and safely install and operate the SMLAX reading head. The SMLAX reading head must be

paired with an MRx series magnetic ring. For information on MRx series magnetic rings please refer to

the specific documentation.

SMLAX is a bearingless encoder for position and speed feedback on applications with large rotating shaft

in potentially explosive atmospheres.

SMLAX rotary encoder is available with an SSI absolute interface, with an incremental output, and with a

dual output (absolute + incremental). An absolute sensor, an incremental sensor, and a reference sensor

can be installed in the same package. Thus the magnetic ring can be equipped with two or three tracks

according to model.

The absolute measuring system can have a 12-, 13-, and 14-bit resolution (4,096 cpr, 8,192 cpr, 16,384

cpr) over the complete circumference and provides the absolute position through the SSI interface.

The incremental resolution can be 1,024 PPR (order codes -B0..., -G0..., -B5..., -G5) or custom (order codes

-L..., -Y...); square wave signals are provided via Push-Pull and Line Driver output circuits.

Specific models also include a reference mark information once per revolution (order codes -B0..., -G0...,

-B5..., -G5, -L...; -Y...).

It is mandatory to pair each sensor with its own MRx series segmented magnetic ring.

SMLAX rotary encoder is IECEx and ATEX certified. For complete information

and certificates please refer to the sections “3 - IECEx ULD 19.0002X

Certificate of Conformity”, “4 - DEMKO 19 ATEX 2195X Examination

Certificate”, and “5 – Safety instructions”.

To make it easier to read and understand the text, this guide can be divided into two main sections.

In the first section some general information concerning the safety, the mechanical installation, and the

electrical connection as well as tips for setting up and running properly and efficiently the unit are

provided.

In the second section, entitled SSI interface, both general and specific information is given on the SSI

interface.
