Product Overview
The Omron E6CP-AG5C-C 256P-R 2M is a 50 mm absolute rotary encoder with a dedicated H8PS cam positioner connector, manufactured by Omron Corporation. Hengyixin Automation ships this sensor from our Xiamen warehouse with a 30-day DOA return window and a datasheet PDF included in the box.
It outputs 256 (8-bit) positions per revolution in Gray code from an NPN open-collector stage on a 12 to 24 VDC supply, drawing 70 mA max. Maximum response is 5 kHz and maximum speed is 1000 r/min. Accuracy is ±1 degree and direction of rotation is CW from the shaft end. The shaft is a 6 mm D-type flatted end on a 50 mm ABS body.
The 2 m pre-wired cable terminates in a connector that fits only the Omron H8PS cam positioner; it cannot be used on the E6CP-AG3C or E6CP-AG5C variants. Starting torque is 0.98 mN.m max. The E69-C06B plastic coupling or E69-C06M metal coupling are sold separately. For the non-H8PS sibling pick the E6CP-AG5C 256P-R.
Key Features
- E6CP-A series 50 mm optical absolute encoder, 8-bit (256) Gray code output, 12 to 24 VDC supply
- NPN open-collector output (28 VDC applied max, 16 mA sink max, 0.4 V residual), 70 mA current consumption
- 5 kHz maximum response, 1000 r/min maximum permissible speed, ±1 degree accuracy, CW output direction
- Pre-wired 2 m cable with H8PS cam positioner connector, 6 mm D-type flatted shaft, IP50 ABS body, E69-C06B coupling pair
- SKU: E6CP-AG5C-C 256P-R 2M
- Series: E6CP-A series general-purpose absolute rotary encoder, 50 mm plastic body
- Voltage: 12 TO 24 VDC
Best-Fit Applications
- Cam timing on an H8PS-8BF DC24V 8-output cam positioner where the E6CP-AG5C-C 256P-R 2M feeds absolute shaft angle to the 8 cam profiles
- Rotary indexing table where the E6CP-AG5C-C 256P-R 2M retains absolute position through power-off so the next cycle starts on the same index without homing
- Bottling-line spare replacement where the older E6CP-AG3C 256P/R 2M upgrades to the E6CP-AG5C-C 256P-R 2M for 24 VDC and H8PS fit
Buying Checklist
- Pick the E6CP-AG5C-C 256P-R 2M for a 50 mm 256-position Gray-code absolute encoder with H8PS cam positioner connector and 2 m cable.
- Pick the E6CP-AG5C 256P-R 2M instead when the encoder feeds a non-H8PS counter and the H8PS-only connector is not needed.
- Pick the E6B2-CWZ6C 300P-R instead when the panel needs a 40 mm incremental encoder at 300 P/R rather than 50 mm absolute.

FAQ for E6CP-AG5C-C 256P-R 2M
What is the Omron E6CP-AG5C-C 256P-R 2M used for?
It is the E6CP-A-series 50 mm absolute rotary encoder with 256 (8-bit) Gray code output on a 12 to 24 VDC supply. The cable terminates in a connector for the H8PS cam positioner only. Typical uses are cam timing on H8PS positioners, absolute position feedback on rotary indexing tables where the encoder must retain angle through power-off, and spare replacements on legacy bottling lines.
E6CP-AG5C-C 256P-R 2M vs E6CP-AG5C 256P-R 2M - what is the difference?
Both are 50 mm 256-position 12 to 24 VDC Gray-code absolute encoders. The 'C' suffix on the -AG5C-C indicates the cable terminates in the H8PS cam positioner connector; the bare -AG5C has only a pre-wired cable without that connector. The -AG5C-C is the only E6CP-A variant that fits the H8PS. Pick the -AG5C-C for H8PS, pick the -AG5C for any non-H8PS counter.
What shaft coupling pairs with the E6CP-AG5C-C 256P-R 2M?
E69-C06B (plastic) or E69-C06M (metal). Both are 6 mm to 6 mm couplings rated for parallel offset up to 0.1 mm and angular offset up to 1 degree. For different-end shaft diameters, pick the E69-C68B (6 to 8 mm) or E69-C610B (6 to 10 mm). The E69-2 servo mounting bracket is the standard bracket for the E6CP family.
What is the maximum cable length for the E6CP-AG5C-C 256P-R 2M?
The factory pre-wired cable is 2 m. For longer runs, add an E69-DF5 (5 m), E69-DF10 (10 m), or E69-DF20 (20 m) extension cable between the encoder and the H8PS cam positioner. The H8PS connector is on the encoder end, so the extension only adds length between the E69-DF[nn] block and the H8PS controller. Total practical length is 25 m before signal rise time degrades the 5 kHz response.
