3.41.3 HR 550 handwheel with wireless transmission
A wireless handwheel system consists of the HR 550FS mobile part and the
HRA 551FS handwheel adapter. The HR 550FS has a rechargeable battery for
mobile operation on the machine. During operation it continuously
communicates via radio with the HRA 551FS handwheel adapter, which
communicates directly with the control via a serial cable connection.
The HRA 551FS handwheel adapter, which functions both as receiving and
charging station for the mobile part, features an M23 connector system for
connection to the control via a standard handwheel adapter. If the wireless
handwheel system is damaged, the dummy plug for the emergency stop
circuit (ID 271958-03) can be used so that the operational readiness of the
machine can be restored quickly.
The wireless handwheel system can be used in many different places thanks
to the 2.4 GHz ISM radio band, which is freely accessible almost all over the
world. The HR 550FS complies with the internationally accepted standards.
For radio communication, the HEIDENHAIN HR 550FS uses 2.4 GHz ZigBee
transmission technology with a special HEIDENHAIN communications
protocol.
