When reading, pay particular attention to the information, important notices and
warnings that are marked with the corresponding symbols (see 1.2.1).
Section 4 Quick start shows a way how to configure the encoder in a very general
setting with minimal functionality. For optimal usage of the device, it is necessary to
read all the following information. Abbreviations and specific wording is explained at
the beginning of this manual.
This manual is intended for persons with technical knowledge in the handling of
sensors, CANopen interfaces and automation elements. If you do not have any
experience in this field, request the assistance of experienced personnel before
proceeding.
Keep the information provided with our product in a safe place so that you can refer to
it at a later date as necessary.
1.2.1 Symbols
The INFO symbol indicates a section that contains particularly
important information for advanced use of the device.
The IMPORTANT symbol is shown next to a section of text that
describes a method for solving a particular problem.
The WARNING symbol indicates that the adjacent instructions
must be observed to ensure correct use of the device and to
protect the user against hazards.
1.3 Specifications
An encoder is a sensor that is designed to detect angular positions (singleturn) and
revolutions (multiturn). The measured data and variables are processed by the
encoder and provided as electrical output signals for the connected peripherals.
The interface and protocol for the communication between encoder and attached
equipment meets the CAN and CANopen specifications. The encoder is capable of
CAN 2.0A and CAN 2.0B. The implemented CANopen protocol meets the CiA 406
encoder profile.
For an easy configuration of the encoder, EDS files (electronic data sheet) are provided
at the download area at
