We have developed a custom solution for model UCD-DPC1B-0013-H6TS-H72, built around a compact 58 mm blind hollow-shaft platform with a Ø6 mm shaft bore and Profibus Class 2 communication. This configuration is intended for installations that need singleturn absolute feedback with fieldbus-side parameter handling, while also requiring direct hollow-shaft mounting in a compact mechanical envelope. The platform uses 13-bit singleturn resolution and a radial 3 × M12 connector layout, making it suitable for Profibus-based systems where the shaft package must remain small. Typical production lead time: 15 working days.

The configuration reflects a compact hollow-shaft encoder structure with radial M12 connectors for separated power and bus routing.
Wiring and Installation Notes
This model uses a Profibus interface with optical isolation, so stable operation depends more on bus layout discipline than on the encoder body itself. In practice, communication faults are more often caused by address conflicts, incorrect termination, or connector-side routing errors than by hardware failure. The platform supports manual address selection from 0 to 99 and termination switching, so commissioning should verify node logic and bus end conditions before preset, filter, or scaling settings are adjusted. It also supports programmable functions such as resolution-related settings, transmission ratio, preset, direction, limit handling, node number, teach mode, and diagnostics, which is useful in retrofit work but also creates a common risk of stable communication with incorrect position behavior.
The radial 3 × M12 layout separates power, bus in, and bus out, which helps service access but also makes connector assignment a common startup mistake if installation is rushed. Mechanically, the Ø6 mm blind hollow shaft is more sensitive to alignment and shaft seating than larger bore versions. The allowable offset values are relatively small, so in practical installations shaft misalignment is often a more common long-term issue than electrical mismatch.
Application and Integration Notes
This configuration is typically used in compact Profibus-based motion systems, retrofitted fieldbus axes, and small shaft-mounted drive assemblies where singleturn absolute feedback is sufficient and the mechanical package has to remain compact. Its practical value lies in combining Profibus-side configurability with a small-bore blind hollow-shaft format, which reduces coupling adaptation in tight installations.
Compared with simple point-to-point interfaces, this model reduces controller-side signal interpretation work because position is transferred directly through Profibus. In practice, it is selected when a compact hollow-shaft package is required, but a simple parallel or incremental solution would remove too much bus-level flexibility.

Technical Summary
The engineering value of UCD-DPC1B-0013-H6TS-H72 lies in its combination of a compact 58 mm hollow-shaft structure, Profibus singleturn feedback, and a service-friendly 3 × M12 connection layout. It is best suited for installations where the system still benefits from bus-level functions such as addressing, preset, and diagnostics, but where a larger fieldbus encoder would add unnecessary mechanical size.
