ELGO position indicator "Z58" is usable for displaying of actual positions, and also as a pure
pulse counter (e.g. quantities).
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 en-
coders.
With 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!

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 re-
set the actual value.
Please note: The external input is a statically 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.
The process can be cancelled by renewed pressing of Button - ▲.
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.
6.5 How to activate the tolerance window?
If the external input ST2/Pin4 is closed to + 24 VDC, the function is active. The tolerance
window can be adjusted be the parameters P 30 (min value) and P 31 (max value). If the
actual position is outside of the adjusted window, the Relay 1 is activated. The Relay 1 will
be de-energized, when the Position moves back into the tolerance window again.

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 bigger than „1“ the resolution decreases.
