GSA-C Series CANopen Single Turn Bus-based Absolute Encoder

GSA-C Series CANopen Single Turn Bus-based Absolute Encoder

short description:

GSA-C Series Encoder is a single turn CANopen interface absolute encoder, CANopen is a CAN-based communication system. It comprises higher-layer protocols and profile specifications. CANopen has been developed as a standardized embedded network with highly flexible configuration capabilities. It was designed originally for motion-oriented machine control systems, such as handling systems. Today it is used in various application fields, such as medical equipment, off-road vehicles, maritime electronics, railway applications, or building automation.

 4: Five Steps for Selecting Your Encoder

StepDescription
Step 1If you have previously used encoders from other brands, please provide the brand and model information. Our engineers will recommend a high cost-performance equivalent replacement.
Step 2Select the encoder type: 1) Incremental Encoder 2) Absolute Encoder 3) Draw Wire Sensor 4) Manual Pulse Generator
Step 3Choose the output format (for incremental encoders: NPN/PNP/Line Driver/Push-Pull) or the interface type (for absolute encoders: Parallel, SSI, BISS, Modbus, CANopen, Profibus, DeviceNET, Profinet, EtherCAT, Power Link, Modbus TCP).
Step 4Select the resolution of the encoder. For example, Gertech incremental encoders offer up to 50,000 ppr, and Gertech absolute encoders offer up to 29 bits.
Step 5Choose the housing diameter and shaft diameter of the encoder.
