CANopen High Performance Absolute Rotary Encoder
 |
High PerformanceThe new OCD II CANopen series has been designed to be more compact and have better performance. Like all OPTOCODE encoders, the new models use a tried and tested optoelectronic scanning method to measure positional values. The single-turn mechanism provides a resolution of up to 16 bit per revolution and the Multi-turn unit registers a maximum of 16,384 revolutions (14 bit), thereby covering an overall measuring range of up to 30 bit. The merging of Microcontroller with the fieldbus controller has optimized the architecture and reduced the cost. The shorter housing makes the encoder suitable for applications with limited space considerstions. The sturdy encoder design offers up to IP67 protection degree.
Boot Loader-Facilitates MaintenanceAnother new feature is the availability of a boot loader which facilitates remote maintenance and easy updating of device profiles and software. In addition to that, the presence of LSS (Layer Setting Service) also allows the users to configure new devices thus easing the configuration of entities in a CANopen network. Moreover, an additional version of CAN encoder supports the J1939 network protocol, allowing users to install them in mobile machines such as utility vehicles without any need for gateway solutions.
Device ConfigurationAdditionally, preset value, resolution and limit switch parameters can be configured via the CAN Bus. SDO telegrams make it possible to retroactively assign node number and Baud rate. A novel software add-on ensures real-time calculation of speed and acceleration simultaneously and the addition of 8 new CAMs (software cam switches) makes a substitution of PLC functions possible.
Connection CapUser-friendly configuration is ensured by a connection cap which features a configurable terminating resistor, diagnosis LEDs and BCD switches for manual adjustment of the baud rate and node number. To ensure backward compatibility, the OCD II CANopen is compatible with old connection caps.For more information on OCD II CANopen please click on the link below
