Indicator Meaning
REF If decimal points are blinking:
Display is waiting for the reference mark to be crossed over.
If decimal points are not blinking: Reference mark was crossed
over — datum points are now stored in nonvolatile memory.
Blinking: Waiting for operator to press ENT or CL.
1 / 2 Datum 1 / Datum 2 currently active.
SET Blinking: Waiting for operator to confirm entry values.
< / = / > Sorting mode: Measured value less than lower limit /
within tolerance / greater than upper limit.
ND 261

The ND 261 is designed for use with HEIDENHAIN angle encoders with sinusoidal
output signals: either ND 261A for 11 µAPP (Id. Nr. 283 482 ..) or ND 261V for 1 VPP
(Id. Nr. 322 352 ..). These angle encoders have one reference mark or several
distance-coded reference marks.
When a reference mark is crossed over, it generates a signal identifying that position
as a reference point. After switch-on, simply crossing over a reference mark
restores the relationship between axis positions and display values as it was last
defined by datum setting.
With distance-coded reference marks, a maximum traverse of only 10°or 20°
suffices to restore the datum.
Switch-On
If you do not wish reference mark evaluation, press CL instead of ENT.
Switch on reference mark evaluation
•Display shows the value last assigned to the
reference mark position.
•REF indicator glows.
•Decimal point blinks.
Cross over reference mark
Move the axis until the display becomes active and the
decimal point no longer blinks.

Setting the Datum
The datum setting procedure assigns a display value to a specific axis position.
The ND 261 allows you to set two separate datum points.
0 ➤1
Select datum 1 or 2.
Enter a value, such as 40.
You can switch from one datum to the other at any time.
Use datum 2 when you want to display incremental dimensions.
4 0
Confirm entered value.

Sorting and Tolerance Check Mode
In this mode, the display value is compared with an upper and a lower limit value.
Status indicators and the trigger signal outputs at the D-sub EXT connection (see
that section) indicate whether the display value is less than the lower limit, greater
than the upper limit, or between the two limit values.
Indicator Meaning
=Measured value is between the limit values
<Measured value is less than the lower limit value
>Measured value is greater than the upper limit value
Operating parameters for the sorting mode:
•P17: Sorting on/off
•P18, P19: Limit values

Storage and transfer times
The duration of data transfer depends on the selected baud rate and the number of
additional line feeds. Display of degrees, minutes and seconds increases the storage
and transfer times.

Data Output
There are three ways to output data:
➤PRINT function: Press the MOD key (this method can be inhibited with
operating parameter P86); or
➤Input the command STX (CTRL B) over the RXD input; or
➤Input a latch command over the D-sub connection EXT.
A connecting cable (to a PC, for example) is available from HEIDENHAIN
(Id.-Nr. 274 545 ..); cable length up to 20 m (66 ft).
Operating parameters for data output: P50, P51
Wiring and pin layout
Connecting cable is either completely wired (left) or only partially wired (right).

OutputsInputs
Use only shielded cable!

•Triggering by make contact against 0 V or
•LOW level over TTL component
•Delay for Zero reset/Preset: td≤2 ms
•Minimum pulse duration for all signals: tmin ≥42 ms
Output signals •Open collector outputs,
•active LOW
•Signal output delay:
•td≤42 ms
•Zero crossover signal
minimum duration,
trigger outputs A1, A2:
t0≥180 ms
Note that these times will increase if features are active (such as the sorting
mode) or if the measured values are being displayed in degrees/minutes/sec-
onds.
Danger to internal components!
Voltage sources from external circuitry must conform to the recommenda-
tions in EN 50178 for low-voltage electrical separation. Connect inductive
loads only with a quenching diode parallel to the inductance.

Error Messages
To clear error message
When you have removed the cause of the error,
➤press CL.
Message Cause and effect
Last measured value not yet latched1)
External device not ready for data transfer1)
( only appears once)
Data interface:
Parity error or wrong format1)
Incorrect input value
Overflow caused by external preset
Overflow, trigger limit 1
Overflow, trigger limit 2
Overflow, lower sorting limit
Overflow, upper sorting limit
Encoder signal too weak1) (encoder may be contaminated)
Input frequency too high for encoder input1)
(will occur for example when traverse speed too high)
Internal counter overflow
Error while crossing over reference marks1)
To clear the error message: Switch off the display unit.
Should any of these error codes recur, contact your HEIDENHAIN
service agency
Offset compensation values for encoder signals have been
erased: contact your HEIDENHAIN service agency.
Erase the operating parameters.
If all decimal points light up, the measured value is too large or too small.
In this case, set a new datum or retract.
If all sorting indicators light up, this means that the upper sorting limit is less
than the lower limit.
1) These errors are significant for a connected device. The error signal (pin 19) at the
EXT D-sub connection is active.
Display Freeze by Measured Value Output Signal
The effect of the signal for measured value output on the display is defined in user
parameter P23.
➤Concurrent display: No display freeze. The unit shows the current measured
value ( ).
➤Frozen display: The display is frozen and is updated with each signal for meas-
ured value output ( ).
➤Frozen/concurrent display: The display freezes only as long as the signal is
present ( ).

Operating Parameters
The parameters are divided into “user parameters“and “protected operating
parameters," which can only be accessed by entering a code number.
User parameters
User parameters are operating parameters that you can change without entering
the code number: They are designated P00 to P30, P50, P51, P79, P86
Calling user parameters
To call user parameters immediately after switch-on:
➤➤
➤➤
➤Press the MOD key as long as is visible in the display.

To go directly to a specific user parameter:
➤➤
➤➤
➤Press and hold the CL key, then press the first digit of the parameter number.
