1 Introduction
1.1 Encoder types
This manual is assigned to the following Wachendorff Automation encoders:
WDGA CANopen
It applies to all WDGA CANopen with Revision Number (Software version) 1.18 and
less.
The Wachendorff Automation CANopen vendor id is:
0100 021Fh
The Wachendorff Automation product code is:
WDGA= 5744 4741h
The revision number and the serial number vary for each individual encoder and can
be found on the encoder’s label:
Figure 1.1: Encoder label
In the figure 1.1 the revision number is marked blue (here: 1.00). The revision is
combined with a leading 0306 and fixed within the encoder firmware
(e.g. Rev. 1.00 = 0306 0100h; Rev. 1.06 = 0306 0106h).
The serial number is marked green (here: "12345656"). This decimal value transferred
into "hex" is used in the firmware (e.g. "12345656"="00BC 6138"h).
The hardware version is marked red (here: AA). The ASCII value transferred into hex
is the hardware revision coded in the corresponding CANopen object.
