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 record positional values. The single-turn sensor provides a resolution of up to 16 bit per revolution (0.05º) and the Multi-turn unit registers a maxi-mum of 16,384 revolutions (14 bit), thereby covering an overall measuring range of 30 bit. Use of a fully integrated CAN controller has optimized the architecture and reduced the cost. Improved mechanical design makes the encoder shorter and therefore suitable for applications with limited space. The sturdy encoder design offers up to IP67 Ingress Protection.
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, the encoders’ CANopen interface supports the J1939 network protocol, allowing users to install them in mobile machines such as utility vehicles without any need for gateway solutions.
Process Data Output (PDO)Inclusion of event triggered Process Data Output (PDO) effects in an efficient transmission of a PDO for every change of position value. Additionally, 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 makes error handling and network management easier.
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. To ensure reverse compatibility, the OCD II CANopen works with old OCD connection caps. For more information on OCD II CANopen please click on the link below: |
