Address Setting (Node ID) Baud Rate Update Rate 2.5” [64 mm] 4.0” [102 mm] Our model RT8CN communicates rotational position feedback to your PLC via the CANbus SAE J1939 interface. The heart of this sensor is a precision plastic-hybrid position potentiometer which provides a “absolute” position and does not ever have to be reset to a “home” position after a power loss or planned shutdown. This innovative sensor is designed to meet tough NEMA-4 and IP67 environmental standards and is available in fullstroke measurement ranges of 1/8 to 200 turns. 0...63 set via DIP Switches 125K, 250K or 500K set via DIP Switches 10 ms.

The CMC is a 16-bit value that occupies bytes B2 and B3 of the data field. B2 is the LSB (least significant byte) and B3 is the MSB (most significant byte). The Current % of Measurement Range is a 2-byte value that expresses the current linear position as a percentage of the entire full stroke range. Resolution is .1 % of the full stroke measurement range. Data in bytes B7 - B6 is the change and direction of the CMC (current measurement count) over a 100 msec time period. This data can then be used to calculate velocity and direction in a post processing operation. The CMC starts at 0x0000 with the shaft in the full counter-clockwise position (at reference mark) and continues upward to the end of the stroke range stopping at 0xFFFF. This holds true for all ranges. This value starts at 0x0000 at the beginning of the stroke and ends at 0x03E8. Example: If required, the CMC can easily be converted a rotary measurement expressed in degrees instead of simply counts. This is accomplished by first dividing the CMC by 65,535 (total counts over the range) and then multiplying that value by the FSR: ( CMC 65,535 ) X FSR If the full stroke range is 1 turn (360 degrees) and the current position is 0x0FF2 (4082 Decimal) then, 4082 65,535 ) Percent 0.0% 0.1% 0.2% ... 100.0% X 360 degrees = 22.4 degrees 0x7FFF (32767) “0” counts (no change) 0xFFFF (65535) 32767 counts Velocity Calculation B7 B6 B5 B4 B3 B2 B1 B0 Error Flags Example: ( Decimal 0000 0001 0002 ... 1000 Velocity (cts./100 msec.) – 32767 counts 0x0000 (0) Hex 0000 0001 0002 ... 03E8 Converting CMC to Degrees max max “reverse” “forward” velocity velocity B7 - B6 HEX (Decimal) 0x55 (yellow LED on controller board) indicates that the sensor has begun to travel beyond the calibrated range of the internal position potentiometer. 0xAA (red LED on controller board) indicates that the sensor has moved well beyond the calibrated range of the internal position potentiometer. If either error flag occurs within the full stroke range of the sensor, the unit should be returned to the factory for repair and recalibration.
