Allen Bradley 842E-MIP10BA 1/2" Hollow Shaft Absolute Encoder

Allen Bradley 842E-MIP10BA EtherNet/IP Absolute Multi-Turn Encoder

Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley 842E-MIP10BA is a high-performance, multi-turn absolute encoder featuring integrated EtherNet/IP connectivity. Designed for advanced motion control and positioning tasks, it provides an ultra-high 18-bit single-turn resolution (262,144 steps per revolution) combined with a 12-bit multi-turn range for tracking up to 4,096 total revolutions. As part of the 842E series, the 842E-MIP10BA supports dual Ethernet ports for flexible network architectures, including Linear and Device Level Ring (DLR) topologies. Its hollow-shaft design with a 1/2-inch diameter allows for direct mounting onto motor or machine shafts, reducing mechanical complexity while delivering high-speed, reliable data for robotics and packaging applications.

Industrial Application Scenarios

• Robotics and Manipulators: Providing precise angular position feedback for multi-axis robotic arms.

• Packaging Machinery: Synchronizing conveyor speeds and bottle/package positioning in high-speed filling lines.

• Material Handling: Tracking the absolute position of automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS).

• Conveyor Systems: Enabling exact pallet positioning and sortation logic over long distances using multi-turn tracking.

• Integrated Motion: Serving as a feedback-only axis within a Rockwell Automation Studio 5000 Logix Designer environment.
