Novotechnik - Touchless Angle Sensors - CAN SAE J1939 Interface
The RFC 4800 with CAN SAE J1939 output interface is ideal for mobile applications as it was developed as a communication protocol for heavy-duty vehicles.
Southborough, MA… Novotechnik, U.S. now adds the CAN J1939 interface to the RFC4800 Series of touchless angle sensors measuring angular position up to 360°, turn direction, turns, speed and operational status. The RFC 4800 can provide one or two output channels. It can take the place of an optical encoder but with longer life and robustness.
The RFC 4800 with CAN SAE J1939 output interface is ideal for mobile applications as it was developed as a communication protocol for heavy-duty vehicles. A status bit can signal a controller if a sensor needs replacement minimizing down time. It can average a programmable number of values to output to reduce external noise if present.
Other features include revolution counter, programmable resolution to 14 bits or less to adjust the amount of data output for angular speed from 0.055 to 2.2°/sec and programmable zero point offset. RFC4800 Series has a resolution of 14-bits across 360°, repeatability of ≤ ±0.1° and independent linearity of ±0.5% of full scale.
The RFC 4800 is available with a large variety of magnets and connectors. Sensors are sealed up to IP69 and operating temperature range is -40 to +105 °C. Mean time to failure is 843 years. Cable and connector versions are available.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
