1.1 About this manual This technical manual describes the configuration and assembly options for absolute encoders from Wachendorff Automation with an EtherCAT interface. It represents an addition to the other published Wachendorff Automation documents, such as the datasheets, assembly instructions, supplements, catalogues and flyers.
(multi-turn). The measuring data and variables derived from this are processed by the encoder and provided as electrical output signals for the downstream peripherals. In the WDGA series, the patented technologies QuattroMag® and EnDra® are used for single-turn and multi-turn encoders respectively. This means that the WDGA series from Wachendorff is especially maintenance-free and environmentally friendly.
EMC and Machinery directives. The encoder is a sensor for capturing angle positions and revolutions and should only be used for such purposes! Encoders from Wachendorff Automation are produced and marketed for industrial use outside the safety/security sector.
(full or end hollow shaft). The size is specified by the diameter on the flange at 58 mm. The illustration below shows examples of the WDGA series with EtherCAT.
The sensors are based on the optical or magnetic scanning of a material measure on the encoder shaft. The WDGA encoders from Wachendorff use the new magnetic QuattroMag® technology that ensures maximum accuracy and resolution of the single turn.
Technical Manual 3 - Description of the equipment WDGA with EtherCAT 3.6 MAC address and IP address The Wachendorff EtherCAT encoder has a MAC address. This always starts with D4- 90-E0-xx-xx-xx. shipped status, EtherCAT encoder address 192.168.1.127. The IP address can be configured on the webpage of encoder, see subsection 5.3.1.
