NCoder CAN

The NCoder is a modular encoder system that combines high-resolution angular position encoder unit with user-friendly software tools, enabling precise motion tracking and simplified integration into a wide range of control applications. With a built-in CAN interface, the NCoder connects seamlessly to the NLink Adapter, providing full control and effortless configuration through our intuitive Software SDKs.

Specifications

• 12-48 V DC Input Voltage
• External SPI Interface to connect the encoder module.
• External encoder board provides more flexible mounting options for encoder.
• Can output various encoder data points: Position, velocity, acceleration and angular angle.
• Scaled, filtered velocity and acceleration outputs available from the encoder.
• Flexible support for multiple SPI-based encoder modules such as NCoder 732 & NCoder 600.
• Onboard USB-C port enables standalone operation for NCoder device.
• CAN 2.0B @500kbps (1Mbps Comming soon).
• Has Daisy Chainable CAN Bus Interface. Provides hassle free connection with other CAN components including our NMotion Components.
• Can be easily configured & controlled by using our Python / C++ SDKs and NMotion CLI Tool.

Two-Part Architecture

The NCoder system consists of two main hardware components, designed to offer flexible mounting options for a wide range of applications:

• Sensor Element – A high-resolution external magnetic encoder responsible for precise position measurement.
• Control Shield – A power and communication interface that manages configuration, transmits data over CAN, and handles control and position data processing.
