GA240.A12C002 Parallel Encoder – Customized Replacement

For equipment using the GA240.A12C002 model, we provide a dependable parallel absolute encoder customized replacement solution designed for direct system compatibility. The replacement encoder is developed to match the original unit in electrical interface, parallel output structure, resolution, and functional behavior, allowing installation without changes to PLC logic, I/O allocation, or control software. This approach supports stable operation in industrial systems where continuity and predictability are required.

Technically, GA240.A12C002 is a singleturn parallel absolute encoder with 13-bit resolution (8192 positions per revolution), based on optical sensing. Absolute position data is transmitted through 13 parallel output channels, ensuring immediate and deterministic position feedback after power-up, without the need for referencing. The encoder supports Gray code or binary code, with rotational direction (CW / CCW) defined by wiring configuration. Integrated control inputs including ENABLE, STORE, ZERO, and UP/DOWN enable controlled output release and flexible position handling at the system level. Push-pull, short-circuit-proof outputs combined with internal self-diagnostics and continuous code monitoring contribute to reliable long-term operation.

From a mechanical and environmental standpoint, the replacement encoder features a Ø58 mm aluminum housing with selectable protection up to IP65 when fitted with a shaft seal. It supports defined mechanical and electrical operating speeds, low starting torque, and specified axial and radial shaft loads suitable for precision-driven machinery. Compliance with industrial EMC standards, along with resistance to vibration, shock, humidity, and temperature variation, makes this customized replacement solution suitable for automation equipment, positioning systems, and industrial machinery requiring accurate absolute position feedback.
