AI2507201C100 by Danaher

The Danaher AI2507201C100 encoder stands as a high-precision solution within the Dynapar Encoders series, employing advanced absolute optical technology to deliver reliable position feedback in industrial automation systems. This device supports a single-turn resolution of 10–14 Bit and a multi-turn resolution of 12 Bit, enabling fine-grained motion control across diverse applications. Housed in a robust enclosure rated IP64 or IP67, the AI2507201C100 is engineered to resist dust ingress and withstand wet cycles, ensuring durability in challenging environments. As part of Danaher’s industrial encoder lineup, this model integrates seamlessly with Profibus-DP networks, providing standardized connectivity for modern control architectures. The encoder’s design emphasizes compactness and ease of installation, making it suitable for both new equipment and retrofit projects.

The technical specifications of the AI2507201C100 are engineered for stringent performance requirements. It operates over an ambient temperature range of –40°C to +85°C, maintaining stability under extreme thermal conditions. The device draws an intrinsic current consumption of 220 mA for single-turn units and 250 mA for multi-turn models, optimizing power efficiency. Input power requirements span 10–30 VDC, allowing flexible integration with common industrial power buses. Frequency response is managed via an automatically set baud rate from 9.6 Kbaud up to 12 MBaud, ensuring reliable data throughput. The absolute accuracy is rated at ±0.01° mechanical (36 arc-sec.), while repeatability is maintained within ±0.002° mechanical (7.2 arc-sec.).

Operational performance of the AI2507201C100 is defined by its mechanical and dynamic attributes. Shaft speeds reach 10,000 RPM continuous with peaks up to 12,000 RPM, supporting high-speed motion tasks. The encoder’s enclosure, certified to IP67 under cycling conditions, protects internal optics from contaminants, while the standard IP64 rating covers general industrial use. Weight is minimized at approximately 350 g for single-turn and 400 g for multi-turn configurations, reducing inertial loading on rotary axes. Typical signal processing delay is just 2 ms, providing rapid feedback essential for closed-loop control systems.

System integration is facilitated by the built-in Profibus-DP (Encoder Profile) interface, which aligns with Danaher’s communication protocols for synchronized multi-axis control. The compact form factor and broad input voltage range simplify installation in conveyor drives, packaging machinery, and robotics. As part of the Dynapar Encoders series, the AI2507201C100 is tailored for industrial automation applications demanding precision, robustness, and seamless connectivity.
