## **| OMNICODER**[®] **PROGRAMMING TOOL** PN 60031-101 

## Introduction 

The Omnicoder[®] programming tool is designed to make the re-programming of the Omnicoder Encoder as simple as possible.  It is powered by the USB port of a laptop computer and uses a special data cable to transfer the new resolution to the encoder. Omnicoders come from the factory pre-programmed with a resolution of 1024 counts per turn and can be changed to any whole number value from 1 to 10,000. Changing the resolution only takes a matter of a few seconds once the Omnicoder is attached to the computer. 

## Features 

- Easy set-up and installation of software 

- Simple, visual connection verification 

- Encoder comes pre-tested and programmed at 1024 cpt 

- Just type in your new resolution and click the program button 

- Straightforward and fast reprogramming. 

## Applications 

- Installations with frequent adjustments or set-ups like printing or packaging 

- Plant maintenance where you don’t know which encoder resolution to stock for repairs.  With the Omnicoder you just stock one and program it as needed. 

- As a way to do electronic line shafting, especially when you have an unusual ratio between shafts, like 5:8 for example. 

## **INSTALLATION AND PROGRAMMING** 

## Installing the USB Driver and Software 

- **Step 1** Go to https://www.sensata.com/resources/omnicoder-programming-software to download the software

## Programming the Omnicoder[®] 

- **Step 9** Using the Omnicoder[®] programming cable (60031-101), plug the USB connector end into your PC. The red X (No cable detected) should change to a green check mark, indicating that the USB Programming Module was detected. (This may take up to 15 seconds) 

- **Step 10** Plug the M18 connector end into the Omnicoder[®] unit. The red X (No encoder detected) should change to a green check mark, and the current Omnicoder[®] resolution will be displayed on your computer screen. 

- **Step 11** To change the Omnicoder[®] resolution, enter a new resolution as an integer between 1 and 10000 in the box labeled “Program New Resolution.” Then click the “Program” button. In a few seconds, the new resolution will be uploaded to the Omnicoder[®] .  The Omnicoder[®] is now programmed and can be disconnected. To program a new resolution, repeat Steps 9-11
