T 2: CANopen Interface and Related Information
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Communication System | CANopen – a CAN-based communication system that includes higher-layer protocols and profile specifications |
Device Classification | Complies with “encoder device line rule class2” and is generally used as a slave device |
Reference Standards | Refer to “CIA Standard Specification 301” and “CIA Standard Specification 406” (these documents can be obtained from www.can-cia.org) |
EDS Files | EDS files are provided with the encoder. They must be installed on the CANopen master controller before using the CANopen encoder |
State Switching | The CANopen device can operate in different working states by sending specific NMT messages. (The state diagram is provided in files named “CANopen.cdr” – please refer to these documents for details.) |
3: Packaging and Delivery Information
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Packaging | Standard export packaging or customized as per buyer requirements |

4: Five Steps for Selecting Your Encoder
Step | Description |
---|---|
Step 1 | If 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 2 | Select the encoder type: 1) Incremental Encoder 2) Absolute Encoder 3) Draw Wire Sensor 4) Manual Pulse Generator |
Step 3 | Choose 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 4 | Select 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 5 | Choose the housing diameter and shaft diameter of the encoder. |
