SICK DFS60B-S4PA10000 Programmable Incremental Encoder

The DFS60B-S4PA10000 is the programmable 10,000-PPR version with TTL output as its factory setting. Its TTL/HTL output level and pulse configuration can be adapted with a compatible programming tool. The connector and shaft remain those of this exact order code.

Pulses per revolution describe one signal cycle, not a universal controller count. A counter using four-edge quadrature decoding yields 40,000 counts/revolution at the listed 10,000-PPR setting. Match the counter’s input level, decoding mode and maximum input frequency to the encoder.

Signal frequency is PPR × rpm ÷ 60. At 10,000 PPR, the encoder’s 600 kHz output limit and 9,000 rpm mechanical ceiling together give 3,600 rpm before temperature and receiving-counter limits are applied. Recalculate this limit when reprogramming the pulse count.

M23 pins: 6 = /A, 5 = A, 1 = /B, 8 = B, 4 = /Z, 3 = Z, 10 = GND and 12 = +Us. Pins 2, 7, 9 and 11 are not used on this electrical version.

A TTL or HTL setting changes the signal interface; the 4.5–32 V supply rating alone does not identify the current output level. Set the output for the receiving counter before connection. A compatible programming device is separate from the encoder.

Connect the 10 mm solid shaft to the machine shaft with a suitable coupling and support the machine shaft independently. Keep misalignment and external forces within the encoder’s radial and axial limits. Matching the 60 mm housing diameter alone does not establish a mechanical replacement.

The +100 °C ambient endpoint and 9,000 rpm mechanical limit are not simultaneous unrestricted operating ratings. Allow 3.3 K self-heating per 1,000 rpm in the operating-temperature budget, and apply the lower electrical frequency limit at the selected pulse count.
