HEIDENHAIN TNC 430 PA/M - Monitoring for Encoders with Endat Interface

6 – 12 HEIDENHAIN Technical Manual TNC 426, TNC 430
Monitoring for
encoders with
EnDat interface
Position encoders:
In the event of a disturbance, the error message
EnDat defective <error codes> <axis> will appear.
Meaning of the error codes up to NC software 280 476-12:
The error codes may also appear combined, in which case they add
themselves together.
A disturbance in communication between the EnDat position encoder and the
control (e.g. defective cable) results in the error message
EnDat defective 11111 <axis>.
Meaning of the error codes as of NC software 280 476-13:
The error code is shown in hexadecimal notation. The error codes may also
appear combined, in which case they add themselves together.
There are two possible types of errors:
n The encoder reports an error.
n Access to the encoder via the EnDat interface is faulty.
Codes of errors reported by the encoder:
