This document describes the Omron E6B2-C general‑purpose incremental rotary encoder with an external diameter of 40 mm. It lists the available resolutions, output configurations (NPN/PNP open‑collector, line‑driver), and mechanical dimensions, and includes wiring diagrams for each output mode.
Safety precautions, environmental limits, and ordering information are also provided, along with a brief terms‑and‑conditions section for purchase and warranty. The datasheet is intended for engineers selecting the encoder for industrial automation applications.
| Power supply voltage | 5 VDC −5 % to 24 VDC |
|---|---|
| Output type | NPN open‑collector, PNP open‑collector, line‑driver |
| Maximum response frequency | 3100 kHz |
| Ambient temperature range (operating) | −10 °C to 70 °C |
| Degree of protection | IP50 |
| Weight (packed) | ≈ 100 g |
The maximum response frequency is 3100 kHz, which determines the highest electrical response speed.
Do not extend the cable length to more than 2 m; for models with a line‑driver output the maximum length is 100 m.
Wait at least 0.1 s after turning the power on before using the encoder, and stop using it at least 0.1 s before turning the power off.
