WCS* Read Head Position Encoding System
Options and Special Functions
Overview of the display module
The display shows the current position value. After switching on the read head, the following
information is displayed in sequence:
read head type, e.g., "LS-221"
read head address, e.g., "Addr 0"
software version, e.g., "Pr. 1.01"
When at a standstill, the read head switches to the "information display" mode. The following
data is displayed cyclically:
"12.34.56," internal clock (hh.mm.ss)
"Good" or "bad"
Condition of the lens/photoelectrics:
"LE - - -," No error message
"LE 1," Read head has detected error 1
"Lo --- ," Read head was not outside the code rail
"Lo 34," Read head was outside the code rail 34 times
"LS ---," Limit speed has not been exceeded
"LS 128," Limit speed was exceeded 128 times (only for read head with option "velocity out-
put")
Note
All values are reset after the voltage is switched on. The maximum time is 99:59:59, then the
time starts again at 00:00:00. The maximum counter values for Lo and LS are 255.
