New for 2009 - KÜBLER - #29

The CANopen encoders of the M3658 and M3678 series support the latest CANopen communication profile according to DS 301 V4.02 . In addition, device-specific profiles like the encoder profile DS 406 V3.1 are available.

The following operating modes may be selected: Polled Mode, Cyclic Mode, Sync Mode. Moreover, scale factors, preset values, limit switch values and many other additional parameters can be programmed via the CAN-Bus. When switching the device on, all parameters, which have been saved on a flash memory to protect them against power failure, are loaded again.

The following output values may be combined in a freely variable way as PDO (PDO mapping): position, speed as well as the status of the working area.

The encoders are available with a connector or a cable connection. The device address and baud rate can be set/modified by means of the software. The two-colour LED located on the back indicates the operating or fault status of the CAN bus, as well as the status of the internal diagnostics. Node address, baud rate and CANbus termination are programmable.

The following parameters can be programmed:

• Event mode

• 1 work area with upper and lower limit and the corresponding output states

• Variable PDO mapping for position, speed, work area status

• Extended failure management for position sensing with integrated temperature control

• User interface with visual display of bus and failure status 1 LED two colours

• Customer-specific memory - 16 Bytes

"Watchdog controlled" device
