TR Electronic SA
About us
We provide: measurement and control systems for automation technology
When industrial processes run smoothly and reliably, there are chances that this is partly due to measurement and control solutions from TR-Electronic. When a theater curtain goes up, for example, systems of TR monitor the complex stage technology. People and machines work safely together and the audience enjoys a perfect production. Wind energy plants generate energy with maximum efficiency thanks to optimally aligned rotor blades - controlled by TR solutions. In press lines for the automotive industry, TR sensors guarantee safe forming of the body components. In logistics, TR measuring systems enable smooth transport of goods, e.g. in conveying systems and high racks. TR control and measuring modules control and monitor pumps for drinking water supply, regulate correct feeding of pellets in wood-fueled installations or help to detect faults in a punching machine at an early stage.
For all of these and other applications TR-Electronic supplies the right rotary encoders, linear encoders and drives - as high-quality standard products or customized solutions.

TR provides EPLAN-Macros for absolute, rotary encoders.
TR-Electronic now offers EPLAN macros for download for the various standard rotary encoders of the C__582 series. This enables simple, seamless integration of the electrical side of the sensors from TR-Electronic into the electrical plan of the machine or system. Depending on how you work, different views can be used, which, for example, show bus and supply lines in separate units (for the separate documentation of data and supply lines) or together in one unit. If you work with pre-assembled cables and therefore do not need any detailed information about the cores of the bus cable, you can use a particularly compact representation. For integration in parts lists, it is advisable to store the part order number of the selected rotary encoder in the macro data. This means that parts lists can also be easily created using the electrical plan and the decisions made on the design, interface, shaft geometry... are clearly defined via the part number. Like all product documentation, the macros can be found in the downloads for the individual items on the TR-Electronic website via the product selector. The assignment to article numbers that can be ordered ensures that the macro valid for the respective rotary encoder is reliably identified. The EPLAN macros complement the already available STEP 3D data of the latest encoder generation from TR-Electronic. This allows users to efficiently and reliably integrate TR rotary encoders into the mechanical and electrical design of a machine or system. EPLAN® is a registered trademark of EPLAN Software & Service GmbH & Co. KG or its affiliated companies in Germany and other countries.

Ersatzdrehgeber für bestehende Anwendungen
Time and again, manufacturers discontinue certain product series. Especially when it comes to interfaces developed many years ago, maintenance and development capacities are transferred from traditional systems to the latest technologies. The development cycles of sensor manufacturers and users are not always synchronized, meaning that there is still a need for traditional interfaces that is no longer satisfied by the original manufacturers. It is also increasingly being observed that manufacturers organized in corporate structures are less and less prepared for the individual requirements of medium-sized specialist automation companies. And what do you do when you are informed that an important component is no longer available? Either you change the rest of the technology, redesign the system or ask an experienced specialist for individual encoders for an alternative. TR Electronic has always been known for supporting many industrial interfaces for position sensors. TR Electronic's in-house development expertise allows it to draw on more than 40 years of experience and integrate both state-of-the-art and classic communication systems into the latest generations of devices. The mechanical connection can be adapted to existing environments with a high degree of freedom. The manufacturing technology of the medium-sized company allows production in manageable batch sizes. Quantities that are of no interest to others can be realized economically at TR. Direct contact between the user and manufacturer is required to ensure that a solution fits perfectly into the existing application. In the best case scenario, the user receives an encoder that can be used directly as a replacement for a discontinued product. Sometimes minor modifications to the mechanics or the control system are necessary. And this new encoder will be reliably available for a long time thanks to the latest technology. And it will be suitable for the existing application.

When integration creates new creates new possibilities:
The new EtherCAT NC expansion enables manufacturer‑neutral integration of encoTRive drives. The drive handles speed only, while EtherCAT and the controller manage positioning, allowing very fast and convenient system integration.
