CANLift Multiturn Encoder Series 5868/88
The CANLift encoders of Series 5868/88 support the latest CANopen communication
profile according to DS 301 V4.02 . In addition the device-specific profile DS 417 V1.1
has been adapted (for lift applications).
The following operating modes can be selected: Polled Mode, Cyclic Mode, Sync Mode and a High
Resolution Sync Protocol. Moreover, scale factors, preset values, limit switch values and many other
additional parameters can be programmed via the CAN-Bus. At Power ON all parameters are loaded
from an EEPROM, which had previously been saved in the non-volatile memory to protect them in case
of power failure. The following output values may be freely combined as PDO (PDO Mapping):
position, speed, acceleration as well as the status of the four limit switches.
Moreover the encoders are available with D-SUB, M12 or M23 connectors, or with a cable connection,
for which changes to the device address and baud rate are software controlled.
Three LEDs located on the back indicate the operating or fault status of the CAN bus, as well as the
status of an internal diagnostic.
CANLift encoders are available in blind hollow shaft and solid shaft versions, and are ideal for use in
harsh industrial environments thanks to their IP 65 protection rating.
The CANopen Profile
CANopen represents a unified user interface and thus allows for a simplified system structure with a
wide variety of devices. CANopen is optimized for the fast exchange of data in real-time systems and
possesses a number of different device profile that have been standardized. The CAN in Automation
(CiA) manufacturers and users group is responsible for creating and standardization of the relevant
profiles.
CANopen offers
•user-friendly access to all device parameters.
•auto-configuration of the network and of the devices
•device synchronization within the network
•cyclic and event-driven process data exchange
•simultaneous read and write of data
CANopen uses four communication objects (COB) with different properties
•Process Data Objects (PDO) for real-time data,
•Service Data Objects (SDO) for transmitting parameters and programs,
•Network Management (NMT, Life-Guarding, Heartbeat)
•Predefined Objects (for Synchronisation, Time-Stamp, Emergency)
All device parameters are filed in an Object Dictionary. This Object Dictionary contains the description,
data type and structure of the parameters, as well as the address (Index).
The dictionary is divided into a communications profile section, a section covering the device profile as
well as a section specific to the manufacturer.

The CANLift encoder is designed specially to fulfil the requirements of the Lift Industry
and meets the CiA specifications acc. to DSP417. The encoder is already pre-configured
with many parameters, so offering the customer a simple plug and play option. Any
necessary changes or settings for a particular application can be carried out quickly and
easily via EDS files, using a configuration tool such as CANWizard from BÖHNKE +
PARTNER® .
Firstly the encoder will be assigned a lift shaft by means of the parameter Lift Number.
The objects for the device parameters will hereupon be automatically adjusted to suit. Up
to 3 PDO channels are available for the communications, all of which have already been
configured to the position Unit 1.
Data transmission
With CANopen data are transferred via two different communication types (COB=Communication
Object) with different properties:
•Process Data Objects (PDO – real-time capable)
•Service Data Objects (SDO)
The Process Data Objects (PDO) provide high-speed exchange of real-time data (e.g.
encoder position, speed, comparative position status) with a maximum length of 8 byte. These data are
transmitted with a high priority (low COB-Identifier). PDOs are broadcast messages and provide their
real-time data simultaneously to all desired receivers. PDOs can be mapped, i.e. 4 byte of position and 2
byte of speed can be combined in one 8 byte data word.
The Service Data Objects (SDO) form the communication channel for the transfer of device parameters
(e.g. programming the resolution of the encoder). As these parameters are transmitted acyclically (e.g.
only once during boot-up of the network), the SDO objects have a low priority (high COB-Identifier).
Transmission of Process Data
With the CANLift encoder three PDO services PDO1 (tx) ,PDO2 (tx) and PDO3(tx) and a Receive-
PDO are available. A PDO transmission can be triggered by a variety of events (see Object Dictionary
Index 1800h):
•asynchronously (event driven) by an internal cyclic device timer or by a change in the process
value of the sensor data
•synchronously as a response to a SYNC telegram; (a SYNC command will cause all CANopen
nodes to store their values synchronously, after which they are transferred in succession to the
bus according to their set priority)
•as a response to an RTR-Telegram (per Remote Frame=recessive RTR-bit, exactly that
message with the communicated ID will be requested)

The CANWizard has a wide variety of features, specially for use with lifts, and which comply with the CiA
DSP-417 application profile. The Software is part and parcel of the control concept that is designed and
manufactured by the company BÖHNKE + PARTNER® GmbH.
In the upper area the Device Name, the CANopen Profile and the operating elements for the network
management are displayed. There are also two links, either for reading in the device again or for
manually assigning a particular EDS file to this device.
Below this are displayed the device information for this node and the name of the assigned EDS file.
In the lower part of the window are the selection fields for the parameter assignment of the device.
These are dependent on the particular device.
The encoder possesses two virtual devices, which can be configured independently of each other.

Baud rate
The default setting on delivery is 125 kbit/s. The baud rate can however be changed from 0..9 by
reprogramming in Object 2100h from 0..9. The following baud rates are available to the user:
² Factory default setting
Please note the following when selecting a baud rate
The chosen cycle time (see Object 1906h,Sub-index 5 Event Timer) must be longer than
the bus transfer time, to ensure that the PDOs are communicated error-free!
With a baud rate of 10 KBaud: cycle time must be at least 14 ms
With a baud rate of 20 KBaud: cycle time must be at least 10 ms
With a baud rate of 50 KBaud: cycle time must be at least 4 ms
With a cycle time=0 in Event-Mode (i.e. PDO on value change) the baud rate must be at least 125
KBaud.
CANbus Termination
The bus termination can be switched on using the software via Object 2102h. By default the value is set
to 1, which means that the bus termination of the device is switched on.
Range of values 0..1
Default setting: 1
The CANbus must be terminated at both ends between CAN_H and CAN_L using 120 Ohm bus
termination resistors.

Node number
It is possible to change the node number by reprogramming in Object 2101h. If the value in Object
2101h is set to FFh, then the node number will be read from the internal switches. (Switches are set to
the node number default value 10h)
Default setting
10h corresponds to 16 decimal
Node number 0 is reserved and must not be used by any node.
The resulting node numbers lie in the range 1...7Fh hexadecimal (1...127 decimal).
Please note !
No logical connection exists between the node number and the COB-ID of the transmit parameters,
i.e. the IDs for TPDO1+2 have fixed values assigned to them.
The acceptance of a new node number only becomes effective when the encoder is rebooted
(Reset/Power-on) or by means of an NMT Reset Node command. All other settings within the
object table are however retained.

The original Standard Values (default values on delivery) can be reloaded again by means
of Object 1011h (restore parameters).
In order to ensure that parameter changes are saved in the event of power failure, then these must
without fail be transferred to the EEPROM by means of Object 1010h (store parameters). This will cause
all data already present in the EPROM to be over-written!
If errors have occurred during programming of the objects and if these parameters are
then saved in the EEPROM, it will not be possible to address the encoder next time it is
switched on (the encoder will send only Emergency messages).
This error can be cleared only by means of a general Reset of the encoder.
Please note that all programmed parameters will be lost.
•Switch the encoder off
•Turn the encoder back on, keeping the Set-key* pressed for
ca. 3 seconds until the DIAG LED flashes
•Switch the device off again.
When the encoder is rebooted all values will be reset to their default settings, in exactly the same way
as sending Object 1011h Restore Parameters.

A value between 1 ...240 means that the PDO will be sent synchronously and cyclically. The number of the
Transmission Type signifies the quantity of SYNC pulses that are necessary to forward the PDOs.
The Transmission Types 252 and 253 state that the PDO will only be sent when requested via an RTR.
Type 254 means that the event will be triggered depending on the application (application-specific),
whereas Type 255 is dependent on the device (device-specific). Additionally for Numbers 254/255
a time-controlled EventTimer can be used. The values for the timer can range from 1ms ... 65535
ms.
Variable PDO Mapping
Variable Mapping of the various objects means that the user is able to configure the content of the
Transmit PDOs dependent on the application.
Example of an entry in the Mapping Table:
The mapped PDO consists of 3 Application Object entries of varying lengths:
Application Object 2 occupies Byte 1 (08h) in the Transmit PDO. Thereafter follows Application Object 3
with a length of 16 bit (10h = 2 bytes) and finally Application Object 1 with a length of 1 byte. In total, 32
bits are occupied in this PDO.

The speed of the encoder shaft is calculated as the difference in values between two physical (unscaled)
position values with a dynamic time interval of 1ms, 10 ms or 100ms.
In order that the speed calculation can be adapted to the application in question, the user has available
to him 2 configurable objects in the manufacturer-specific area. At high rotation speeds the integration
period of the respective measurement can be reduced, in order to create correspondingly high dynamics.
The number of average values can have a particular influence on the measurement dynamics and must
be calculated specifically to the application.
Accuracy of the speed measurement
The measurement accuracy is largely dependent on the following parameters:
•actual speed
•programmed resolution/ revolution of the encoder (Object 6381h,1)
•programmed number of average values (Object 2130h,1)
•temporary change of speed (momentum)
Object 6384h: Encoder Measuring step Values for the speed calculation
The speed is calculated using the following formula:
Change of position
Speed = --------------------------- x unit factor x 60 in [RPM] or [steps/sec]
Integration time
A parameter under Object 6384,sub2 Speed Measuring Step is available as a multiplier for a unit
factor. Enter under Object 2130,sub1 Speed Average Value the number of measured values needed to
create the moving average of the speed. The maximum range of values is 1...32. The speed output
occurs either as RPM or as the number of steps per second. Using the parameter Object 6384,sub1
Position Measuring Value, it is possible for example to specify the circumference of a measuring wheel,
in order to output the position, e.g. in mm.

Emergency Objects arise with error situations within a CAN network and are triggered depending on the
event and transmitted over the bus with a high priority.
Important: an Emergency Object is only triggered once per “Event”. No new object is generated while
the error still exists. Once the error is eliminated, then a new Emergency Object with the content 0 (Error
Reset or No Error) is generated and transmitted over the bus.
The table shows the error codes supported - highlighted in red
