Technical Frequently Asked Questions
What can be connected to the TP1 CANopen magnetostrictive transducer?
It can be connected to Novotechnik M12 connectors and cables, Novotechnik M16 connectors and cables, Novotechnik linear sensor couplings and fixings, and Novotechnik linear sensor positioners (magnets and cursors).
How do I order the CANopen TP1 magnetostrictive transducer?

For example, TP1-0800-101-613-106 is the version with an 800 mm electrical range, profile design, CANopen, 5 µm resolution with one position and speed sensor and one fixed marker, 500 kBaud, and a 5-pin M12x1 connector. All the options for each field are available in the order code configurator on this page.
Under what conditions does the TP1 CANopen magnetostrictive transducer operate?
Operating temperature: -40 … +85 °C. Protection: IP67.
