E6C2-CWZ5B (600 P/R ) 5-24 PNP

Description

The E6C2-CWZ5B is a high-performance, incremental rotary encoder manufactured by Omron . It is part of the E6C2 series, which is designed for more demanding industrial environments compared to the standard E6B2 series. specifications and features: 1. Key Technical Specifications Feature Details Encoder Type Incremental Resolution 600 Pulses Per Rotation (P/R) Supply Voltage 5 to 24 VDC (-15% to +10%) Output Type Complementary Output (Supports both NPN and PNP) Output Phases A, B, and Z (plus inverted phases -A, -B, -Z) Max. Frequency 50 kHz Max. RPM 6,000 r/min Protection Rating IP64 (Dust-proof and drip-proof) 2. Output Type: Complementary The "5B" in the model name indicates a Complementary Output . This is a versatile industrial output that uses two transistors (one to pull the signal to VCC and one to pull it to Ground). Universal Compatibility: It can be wired to NPN (Sink) or PNP (Source) PLC inputs. High Noise Immunity: It provides a cleaner signal over longer distances compared to open-collector types. Line Driving: It includes inverted signals (A-bar, B-bar, Z-bar) which help eliminate electromagnetic interference (EMI) when used with compatible controllers. 3. Wiring and Signal Assignment The encoder typically uses a shielded cable with the following color codes: Brown: Power Supply (+Vcc: 12-24V) Blue: Ground (0V / GND) Black: Phase A (Main pulse) White: Phase B (Direction pulse, 90° offset from A) Orange: Phase Z (Index pulse, once per revolution) Black/White Line: Phase -A (Inverted A) White/Red Line: Phase -B (Inverted B) Orange/White Line: Phase -Z (Inverted Z) 4. Physical Durability Shaft Loading: It is built to handle significant mechanical stress (Radial: 50N / Thrust: 30N). Construction: It features a robust metal housing and a 6mm solid stainless steel shaft. Operating Temp: It functions reliably between -10°C to +70°C. Summary The E6C2-CWZ5B is the "rugged" choice for automation. If you are replacing an E6B2-CWZ6C, the E6C2-CWZ5B is a significant upgrade in terms of water/dust resistance (IP64 vs IP50) and signal strength. Note: Since this model operates at 12-24V, ensure your controller (like an Arduino) has a level shifter or voltage divider if it only accepts 5V signals.
