PHOENIX Active module 2969055 UMK-32 RM/MR-G24/1/YCS

Product Overview

The PHOENIX CONTACT Active Module 2969055 (UMK-32 RM/MR-G24/1/YCS) is a sophisticated, self-contained signal conditioner and interface converter designed for high-resolution motor feedback systems. This advanced active module serves as a crucial gateway between proprietary encoder protocols and standard industrial interfaces. It actively converts and conditions the signal from HIPERFACE® or HIPERFACE DSL® encoders into a standardized output, enabling seamless integration of sophisticated servo motors into a wide range of automation control systems.

Key Features & Benefits

• Protocol Conversion & Signal Conditioning: Actively converts native HIPERFACE® (analog/digital) or HIPERFACE DSL® (digital) feedback signals into a standardized, processable format for PLCs and controllers, overcoming compatibility challenges.

• Integrated Power Supply (G24): Features a built-in 24V DC power input, making it a self-contained unit that does not rely on power from a separate I/O module. This simplifies system design and increases installation flexibility.

• High-Resolution Feedback Support (32 RM/MR): Designed specifically to interface with high-precision multi-turn absolute encoders using the SICK-developed HIPERFACE or HIPERFACE DSL protocol, providing accurate position, speed, and diagnostic data.

• Compact and Robust Housing: The durable housing is designed for direct mounting in control cabinets, capable of withstanding the rigors of industrial environments, including vibration and electrical noise.

• Simplified Integration: Resolves compatibility issues between specialized motor feedback systems and standard control architecture, reducing engineering time and system complexity.

Applications

This converter module is essential in motion control scenarios where encoder protocol compatibility is a challenge. Its primary applications include:

• Retrofitting and Modernization: Integrating modern HIPERFACE® DSL servo motors into older control systems that only accept standard incremental encoder signals.

• System Compatibility: Using specialized servo motors with controllers that do not natively support the HIPERFACE® protocol.

• Multi-Vendor Automation Lines: Standardizing feedback signals across equipment from different manufacturers for simplified control architecture.

• Servo Drive Systems: Providing a flexible interface solution for troubleshooting or expanding existing motion systems without being locked into a specific drive manufacturer.

• Precision Motion Control: Applications in robotics, CNC machining, and automated assembly where high-resolution feedback is required.

Compatibility & Integration Notes

• This is an active standalone module requiring an external 24V DC power supply.

• It is designed to interface with encoders supporting the HIPERFACE® or HIPERFACE DSL® protocol.

• The output typically provides standard incremental signals (A, B, Z channels) and commutation signals (U, V, W), making it compatible with most standard servo drives and PLC high-speed counters.

• The "1" in the ordering code may refer to a specific output configuration or version.
