PHOENIX Active module 2968519 UM-2KS50/32RM/MR/21/SPT/CS

Product Overview

The PHOENIX CONTACT Active Module 2968519 (UM-2KS50/32RM/MR/21/SPT/CS) is a sophisticated, powered interface component designed for advanced sensor integration in industrial automation systems. Unlike passive modules, this active module provides signal conditioning, conversion, and a robust, specialized connection for sensors requiring a specific interface. It serves as a critical link between a standard modular I/O system (like Phoenix Contact's Inline) and sensors with a Micropulse MR or similar multi-turn high-resolution feedback interface.

Key Features & Benefits

• Active Signal Conditioning: Provides the necessary power and signal processing for specialized sensors, converting the sensor's native output into a standardized format for the PLC or controller.

• High-Resolution Feedback Interface (32RM/MR): Designed to connect to sensors with a Micropulse MR (or compatible) multi-turn absolute feedback interface, enabling precise position and velocity data acquisition.

• Pre-assembled Reliability: Features a factory-assembled, shielded cable (2KS50) that ensures a perfect, vibration-proof connection to the mating I/O module, eliminating installation errors.

• SPT (Smart Plug & Technology): This indicates a sophisticated, programmable interface that may allow for parameterization or advanced diagnostics, simplifying setup and maintenance.

• Robust Industrial Design: Housed in a durable casing suitable for harsh industrial environments, providing excellent noise immunity and mechanical protection.

Technical Specifications

Applications

This active module is essential in high-precision motion control and automation systems where accurate positional feedback is critical. Its primary applications include:

• Servo Drive and Motor Feedback: Connecting high-resolution absolute encoders on servo motors to a centralized control system for closed-loop control.

• Robotics: Providing precise joint position feedback in robotic arms for accurate movement and path planning.

• CNC Machinery: Integrating spindle and linear axis encoders for precise positioning and velocity control in machining centers.

• Automated Assembly and Testing Equipment: Where accurate measurement of linear or rotary position is required.

• Material Handling Systems: Such as sophisticated conveyor systems or automated guided vehicles (AGVs) that require absolute positioning.

Compatibility & Integration Notes

• This is an active module, meaning it requires power from the associated I/O system to operate its internal electronics.

• It is designed to connect to a specific family of high-resolution feedback sensors (compatible with the 32RM/MR interface). Verification of sensor compatibility is crucial.

• The module plugs into a compatible PHOENIX CONTACT I/O module (e.g., within the Inline family), which then communicates with the higher-level PLC via a fieldbus like Profinet, Profibus, or EtherNet/IP.

• The SPT technology may require configuration using specific software tools from Phoenix Contact to set parameters for the connected sensor.
