HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530 HSCI - Meanings of the Signals under Endat;Status

1316 HEIDENHAIN Technical Manual iTNC 530 HSCI
Meanings of the
signals under
"EnDat/status"
Signal Meaning Colors
Encoder model Designation of the encoder model
Device name Name of the encoder
Data width Number of bits of position value
Resolution Speed encoder
Number of signal periods per revolution
Linear encoder:
Signal period in nanometers
Value 0:
The encoder is a purely serial encoder.
Distinguishable
revolutions
Information about multiturn encoders. Number of max. distinguishable
revolutions.
Resolution of abs. track Speed encoder
Number of measuring steps per revolution
Linear encoder:
Number of measuring steps per nanometer
Serial number Serial number of encoder
Absolute value Current absolute value
EnDat 2.2 Information about whether the encoder is EnDat 2.2-compatible.
Alarms Evaluation of different types of error
information from the encoder.
If the encoder reports an encoder error,
fault-free encoder function is no longer
guaranteed. The encoder must be
checked and replaced if necessary. If
required, assistance can be provided by
your HEIDENHAIN service agency.
 Green: No error
 Red: Encoder reports an
error
Warnings Evaluation of different types of status
information from the encoder.
If the encoder issues a warning, it means
that the encoder still functions properly,
but one of the functions is operating at its
limits. The encoder must be checked and
replaced if necessary. If required,
assistance can be provided by your
HEIDENHAIN service agency.
 Green: No warning.
 Yellow: Encoder issues a
warning
