This technical manual describes the configuration and mounting possibilities for absolute-value encoders with a EtherNet/IP interface for firmware version greater 1.02 produced by Wachendorff Automation. It supplements the other publicly available Wachendorff automation documents, e.g. data sheets, assembly instructions, leaflets, catalogues and flyers.
EMC and Machine Directive. A rotary encoder is a sensor that is designed to detect angular positions and revolutions and must only be used for this purpose! Wachendorff Automation manufactures and distributes encoders for use in non-safety-relevant industrial applications.
The sensor system is based on optical or magnetic sampling of a measuring graduation on the encoder shaft. The WDGA encoders from Wachendorff feature the new QuattroMag® magnetic technology, which provides maximum precision and resolution for a singleturn encoder.
WDGA with EtherNet/IP 3.6 MAC address and IP address Wachendorff EtherNet/IP encoders have three MAC addresses. These always start with D4-90-E0-xx-xx-xx. The number depends on the number of ports on the integrated three-port switch. There is one MAC address each for Port1 and Port2, as well as one MAC address for the "internal port"...
6 Commissioning 6.1 General This chapter shows a configuration example of the Wachendorff EtherNet/IP encoder. The example is carried out with the Rockwell Studio 5000 software (Ver. 32.00). The device is in DHCP mode by default, we recommend to perform the commissioning with the tools installed in the course of Studio 5000.
