CANopen Interface The encoder follows the "encoder device line rule class2", and is generally used as a slave device. For information not covered in this manual,please refer to the relevant sections of the documents "CIA Standard Specification 301" and "CIA Standard Specification 406" (these two specifications can be obtained from www.can-cia.org). EDS Document EDS files are provided to customers together with CANopen encoder. Please install EDS files on the main controller of CANopen before using CANopen encoder. State Device The CANopen device can be applied in different working states. By sending specific NMT messages , it can switch between different working states. The status diagram is as follows: 
Five steps let you know how to select your encoder: 1.If you've already used encoders with other brands, plz feel free to send us the information of the brand info and encoder info, like model no, etc, our engineer will advise you with our euqivalent replacement at a high cost performance; 2.If you want to find an encoder for your application, plz first select encoder type: 1) Incremental encoder 2) Absolute encoder 3) Draw Wire Sensors 4) Manual Pluse Generator 3. Choose your output format(NPN/PNP/LINE DRIVER/PUSH PULL for incremental encoder) or interfaces(Parallel, SSI, BISS, Modbus, CANopen, Profibus, DeviceNET, Profinet, EtherCAT, Power Link, Modbus TCP); 4. Select the resolution of the encoder, Max.50000ppr for Gertech incremental encoder, Max.29bits for Gertech Absolute Encoder; 5. Select the housing Dia and shaft dia. of the encoder; Gertech is popular equivalent replacement for similar foreign products such as Sick/Heidenhain/Nemicon/Autonics/ Koyo/Omron/Baumer /Tamagawa/Hengstler /Trelectronic/Pepperl+Fuchs/Elco/Kuebler ,ETC. Gertech Equivalent replace: Omron: E6A2-CS3C, E6A2-CS3E, E6A2-CS5C, E6A2-CS5C, E6A2-CW3C, E6A2-CW3E, E6A2-CW5C, E6A2-CWZ3C, E6A2-CWZ3E, E6A2-CWZ5C; E6B2-CS3C, E6B2-CS3E, E6B2-CS5C, E6A2-CS5C,E6B2-CW3C, E6B2-CW3E, E6B2-CW5C, E6B2-CWZ3C, E6B2-CWZ3E, E6B2-CBZ5C; E6C2-CS3C, E6C2-CS3E, E6C2-CS5C, E6C2-CS5C,E6C2-CW3C, E6C2-CW3E, E6C2-CW5C, E6C2-CWZ3C, E6C2-CWZ3E, E6C2-CBZ5C; Koyo: TRD-MX TRD-2E/1EH, TRD-2T, TRD-2TH, TRD-S, TRD-SH, TRD-N, TRD-NH, TRD-J TRD-GK, TRD-CH Series Autonics: E30S, E40S, E40H,E50S, E50H, E60S, E60H Series Packaging Details The rotary encoder is packed in standard export packaging or as required by buyers; FAQ: 1) How to select an encoder? Before ordering encoders, you could clearly know which type of encoder you may need. There are incremental encoder and absolute encoder, after this, our sale-service department would better work for you. 2) What specifications are requested before order an encoder? Encoder type----------------solid shaft or hollow shaft encoder External Diameter----------Min 25mm, MAX 100mm Shaft Diameter---------------Min shaft 4mm, Max shaft 45mm Phase & Resolution---------Min 20ppr, MAX 65536ppr Circuit Output Mode-------you could choose NPN,PNP,Voltage, Push-pull,Line driver, etc Power Supply Voltage------DC5V-30V 3) How to choose a right encoder by yourself ? Exact Specification Description Check The Installation Dimensions Contact Supplier to get more details 4) How many pieces to start ? The MOQ is 20pcs .Less quantity is also ok but the freight is higher. 5) Why choose "Gertech" Brand Encoder? All encoders are designed and developed by our own engineer team since year 2004,and most of the electronic component of encoders are imported from overseas market. We own the Anti-static and no-dust workshopand our products pass the ISO9001. Never let our quality down,because quality is our culture. 6) How long is your lead time? Short lead time----3 days for samples,7-10days for mass production 7) what is your guarantee policy? 1year warranty and life-long technical support 8)What are the benefit if we become your agency ? Special prices, Market protection and supporting. 9)What is the process to become Gertech agency? Please send us enquiry,we will contact you as soon as possible. 10)What is your production capacity? We produce 5000pcs every week.Now we are building second phrase production line.
