ELGO position indicator "Z58" is usable for displaying of actual positions.
Z58 is a universal device, which can work with output signals of all standard linear encoders
from ELGO. An optional SSI interface allows, to evaluate additionally conventional absolute
encoders.
With the Z58, ELGO is able to offer always a complete solution.
The predecessor type “Z54” can be replaced with Z58 for most applications (except some spe-
cial-devices). Please consider the pin-allocations with replacement, because with Z58 new addi-
tional plugs are available!

5. Functions of parameters
P00 = Reserved for tests
P01 = Switch over of counting direction
P02 = Empty
P03 = Selection of decimal point
P04 = Activate or deactivate Power down memory here
P06 = Select multi-edge-counter here (x 1, x 2 x or x 4)
P07 = Selection of measuring-system:
The connected encoder system must be selected here!
0 = Incremental signals A/B/Z
(e.g.. EMIX/LMIX/MIX/FMIX or rotary encoders)
1 = Differential encoders A/A’, B/B’, Z/Z’ (RS422-interface)
2 = Absolute ELGO-systems ÆEMAX and FEMAX
3 = Absolute ELGO-system ÆFMAX
P08 = Pulse scaling factor
P09 = Deposit able datum-value
The programmed value will be take over to the display, if Button - ►will be pressed
or the external reference-input will be closed.
P10 = Adjustable tool offset
This value will be added to the actual value if Button - ▲is pressed or the external
tool-offset-input will be closed.
P11 = Saw blade width (Incr Mode only!)
To compensate the saw blade width of a saw machine,
a value can be deposited in this register.
P12 = Preset-limit for relays 1 (active when under runs)
P13 = Preset-limit for relays 2 (active when over runs)
P14 = Display brightness
The brightness of the LED-display can be modulated digitally to the ambience,

6. Functions of the keypad and of external inputs
6.1 Reset
For setting the actual value to zero:
Use the external input ST2/Pin6, and connect resp. close it for a short time to + 24 V to
reset the actual value.
Please note: The external input is a static input and is active, when it’s connected with +
24 V. If the input remains constantly in connected state, the display remains “0” and no
counting is possible. For this a push-button without self-holding is recommend.
6.2 Absolute/Incremental mode
The front located Incr/Abs - Button allows to switch over the display from absolute- (resp.
“entire“) to incremental- (resp. “relative”) measurement. After switch over to the relative
measuring „incremental mode“ the display will be set to zero. The further counting proce-
dure starts from this point then. After renewed pressing of Incr/Abs – Button,the unit
switches back to absolute measuring mode.
6.3 Additional tool-offset
The in P10 deposited value will be added to the actual value, if Button - ▲will be pressed
or the external tool-offset-input ST2/Pin4 will be closed. The process can be cancelled
by renewed pressing of Button - ▲or closing input ST2/Pin4.
6.4 Set to datum-value
By pressing Buttons – F and -►at the same time or alternatively closing of input
ST2/Pin5, the display sets to the value, deposited in Parameter P09.

7. Teaching procedure
(only when using an ELGO FMAX absolute linear encoder)
If an ELGO-FMAX encoder is connected, the following steps must be done, to calibrate and
modulate the sensor with Z58:
1. Press for 3 sec., at the same time - in normal operation mode - Buttons - ►and– ▲
The display shows
2. Move the FMAX-sensor app. 2 cm forwards and backwards and press Button - ►then
The display shows
3. Now move the FMAX-sensor to the desired offset and press Button - ▲then
The display shows
4. With releasing the Button - ▲the system is calibrated and the display shows
8. Information’s about Pulse Scaling Factor
The adjustable range is between 0,0001 and 9,9999 with mm-operation as well as
Inch-operation. With factors higher than „1“ the resolution decreases.

Standard RS232
Data format:
Baud rate = 9600
8 Data bits, 1 Stopbit, no parity
Z58 answers only on request of the PC
10.1 Commands
Readout the actual value:
Command: STX ´i´ ETX
Example: 02h 69h 03h

Basically the AC variant is offered for replacement of the parent Z54 type. Owing to place require-
ment the functions described above are not realizable here. If these functions are although neces-
sary, a standard 24 VDC Z58 should be used. Alternatively the external ELGO Power Pack NG13.0 is
useful, if no 24 VDC voltage is available in the switch cabinet.

Pin 3 = A out n 3 = + 24 VDC out
Pin 4 = B out n 4 = Tool Offset input
Pin 5 = Screen n 5 = Reference input
n 6 = Reset input
Note: All inputs are active „high“ (+ 24 VDC / PNP)
