For applications using the GA240.A10C002 model, we provide a reliable parallel absolute encoder customized replacement solution. The replacement encoder is designed to match the original device in electrical interface, output logic, resolution, and functional behavior, enabling direct integration into existing control systems without changes to PLC programs, I/O addressing, or signal processing logic. This ensures safe and predictable replacement in industrial equipment where system continuity is essential.
Technically, GA240.A10C002 is a singleturn parallel absolute encoder with 13-bit resolution (8192 steps per revolution) based on optical sensing technology. Position information is transmitted through 13 parallel output channels, delivering deterministic absolute position data immediately after power-on, with a typical initialization time of 20 ms. The encoder supports Gray code or binary code, with rotation direction (CW/CCW) defined by wiring configuration. Integrated control inputs such as UP/DOWN, ZERO, STORE, and ENABLE allow flexible system-level position control and output management. Push-pull, short-circuit-proof output stages ensure stable signal transmission and protection against wiring faults, while internal self-diagnostics and continuous code monitoring enhance operational reliability.
From a mechanical and environmental standpoint, the replacement encoder features a 58 mm housing, aluminum construction, and selectable protection levels up to IP65 with shaft seal. It supports mechanical speeds up to 10,000 rpm and electrical speeds up to 6,000 rpm, with low starting torque and controlled shaft load limits suitable for precision-driven systems. Compliance with industrial EMC standards, vibration and shock resistance, and a wide operating temperature range make this customized replacement solution suitable for automation equipment, positioning systems, and industrial machinery requiring dependable absolute position feedback.
