8. Troubleshooting – Frequently Asked Questions – FAQ
8.1. FAQ: Project Work
8.1.1. Where do I get an encoder manual?
The manual is available for download at www.baumer.com (freeware „Adobe Reader
®
“ required). Make sure
the manual is the right one for your encoder by verifying the table at the beginning of the manual. You will
find the encoder type on the product label (e.g. EAL580-xxx.xxEN-13160.x).
Should your encoder not be on the list please contact Baumer.
8.1.2. Where do I get the applicable EDS file?
The EDS file is available at www.baumer.com. To find out if the EDS file is applicable for your encoder
please use the table at the beginning of the manual. You will find the encoder type on the product label (e.g.
EAL580-xxx.xxEN-13160.x).
Should your encoder not be on the list please contact Baumer.
8.2. FAQ: Operation
8.2.1. What is the significance of the LEDs provided at the encoder?
The encoder integrates several LEDs indicating activity status of the encoder. Both link/activity LEDs
visualize encoder activity on the bus, meaning data communication on each of the two Ethernet ports. In
particular upon commissioning and in case of error the LEDs provide first information on the system status.
For details on the respective status please refer to chapter Diagnostic LEDs.
8.2.2. How to adapt the resolution?
The encoder resolution in steps per turn („measuring units per turn“) is programmed within the project by
corresponding parameterization. Usually this is performed by the PLC’s engineering tool (for example Studio
5000). The encoder resolution is programmable in individual steps between the maximum limit (encoder-
specific, for example 8192 for EAL580-xxx.xxEN-13160.x) and the minimum limit of 1 step/turn.
