The new CANopen angle sensor

elobau has developed the 424CO, a CAN-capable angle sensor with CANopen protocol, in compliance with ISO 11898. Its measuring principle is based on a Hall-sensor, which registers changes in the magnetic field and emits a corresponding signal. The sensor is therefore contactless, which makes it extremely reliable and
contributes to its long service life.

The 424CO angle sensor covers a measuring range of 360 degrees, with a resolution of 0.1° with a linearity error of less than 1° over the entire angular range. Its pivot is supported by ball bearings and can therefore accommodate smaller radial forces. This makes it predestined for virtually all applications. The high protection class IP67 means the sensor is also optimally suited for use in harsh environments. The recommended temperature range spans -40 to +85 degrees. Its EMC resistance (field interference 200 V/m in accordance with ISO 11452-5) and the CAN output mean the sensor lends itself for use in the vehicle sector, among others.

Using the CANopen protocol, diverse optional specifications such as baud rate or direction of rotation can be set. elobau will also provide suitable cable sets or operating levers on request. It is connected using Deutsch connectors.
