Abstract
Recently, with the adoption of modern computing and communication technologies, manufacturing systems have become more autonomous and intelligent. Thus, as the number of field devices with smart sensors also increase, the need for an integrated management of such devices becomes essential. This paper proposes a smart encoder architecture that integrates the position sensing function with CANopen connectivity. In addition, an integrated system is proposed to simultaneously control and monitor multiple encoders over the Controller Area Network (CAN) fieldbus network. We evaluated the performance and functionalities of the proposed system by comparative experiments with commercial CANopen smart encoders using a CANopen conformance test.
