The eCODE series are communicating encoders that communicate over a standard RS485 serial interface and therefore do not need any specialized hardware. Only four wires are needed for power and communication. The eCODE series is based on incremental encoders which will need to be calibrated after each power-up, thus the term semi-absolute. After an encoder is calibrated all functionality is identical to a “true” absolute encoder. The eCODE encoders have internal functions to assist in the calibration procedure. Encoders in this series use a precision interpolating optical system which provides high resolution and accuracy. All data from the interpolating system are processed by a powerful microprocessor insuring that all position data is accurate and recent within a few microseconds. The eCODE series implements several programmable functions including resolution, direction of rotation and preset/reset functions. It also implements diagnostic functions with warning and error status. Encoders in this series utilize the eCODE and the Modbus protocols. The eCODE protocol consists of three sub-protocols: • eCODE-P2P is a fast point-to-point protocol for real-time applications and is suitable, due to its low latency, for closed-loop motor control. • eCODE-FB is a fast field-bus protocol with the ability to address 247 devices. • eCODE-ASCII is a somewhat slower, but also more detailed, field-bus protocol with the ability to address 247 devices. For a description of the Modbus protocol, please visit www.modbus.org. The eCODE series can be delivered in a broad range of encoder housings with both shaft and hollow shaft options of various dimensions. Scancon’s eCODE encoders are an ideal solution for applications in industries such as Assembly, Machine Tools, Elevators, Material Handling, Oil & Gas, Wind Energy, Mining, Motors and Drive Systems.
