GMA-D Series encoder is a DeviceNET interface cooper-gear-type mult-turn absolute encoder with housing Dia.:58mm; Solid Shaft Dia.:10mm, resolution: Max.29bits; This protocol is mainly used by Allan Bradley / Rockwell. DeviceNet uses the same physical layer as CAN, combined with CIP. The Communications and Information Protocol (CIP) is a communications protocol for transferring automation data between devices. Communication is also done by message telegrams (11 bits of identifier and 8 subsequent bytes).
