linearencoder reference marks
Position Encoders and Reference Marks
The ND 221 B display unit is designed for use with
photoelectrical linear encoders with 11 µA
pp
sinusoidal
signals: primarily for HEIDENHAIN MT length gauges with
11 µA
pp
.
The MT length gauges have one reference mark. The scales
of other photoelectric linear encoders (see "Linear Encoders")
can contain one reference mark or many distance-coded
reference marks.
If there is an interruption of power, the relationship between
the position of the length gauge and the displayed position
value is lost. The reference marks on the position encoders
and the REF reference mark evaluation feature enable the
display unit to quickly reestablish this relationship again
when the power is restored.
When a reference mark is crossed over, a signal is generated
which identifies that position as a reference point. At the
same time, the display unit restores the relationship
between length gauge position and display values which you
last defined by setting the datum.
To restore the datum on scales with distance-coded
reference marks, you only need to traverse a maximum of
20 mm (signal period: 20 µm).

REFMode
Crossing over the reference marks automatically switches
the display to REF mode: The last assignment of display
values to length gauge positions is stored in nonvolatile
memory.
1)
Press the CL key if you choose not to traverse the
reference marks. Note that, in this case, the relationship
between length gauge position and display value will be
lost if the power is interrupted or if the unit is switched off.
Turn on the power.

Datum Setting
The datum setting procedure assigns a display value to a
known position. With the ND 200 series, you can set two
separate datum points.
There are several ways to set the datum:
• Enter a numerical value, or
• Transfer a value from an operating parameter
(see P79, P80).
Select datum 1 or 2.
After datum setting: assignment of measured values to positions
Without datum setting: unknown assignment of measured values
to positions

Datum Setting
Confirm the entered numerical value.
You can switch between datums 1 and 2 as desired. Datum 2
can be used, for example, for working with incremental
dimensions.
When you switch back to datum 1, the display unit resumes
display of the encoder's actual position.

Operating Parameters
Operating parameters allow you to modify the operating
characteristics of your ND display unit and define the
evaluation of the encoder signals.
Operating parameters are designated by:
• the letter P,
• a two-digit parameter number, and
• an abbreviation.
Example: P01 INCH
The factory settings of the operating parameters are
indicated in the parameter list (see “List of Operating
Parameters” ) in boldface type.
Parameters consist of “user parameters” and “ protected
operating parameters,” which can only be accessed by
entering a code number.
User parameters
User parameters are operating parameters that can be
changed without entering the code number:
P00 to P30, P50, P51, P79, P86, P98
The functions of the individual user parameters are detailed in
the list of operating parameters (see “List of Operating
Parameters” ).
To access a user parameter ...
... after switching on the display:
Display first user parameter.
... during operation:
Display first user parameter.
To go directly to a user parameter:
Press and hold CL while entering the first
digit of the parameter number (here, 1).
Enter the second digit of the parameter
number (here, 2).
The display shows the selected user
parameter.

Entries in the compensation value table
• Datum:
Here you enter the point at which the compensation is to
begin. This point indicates the absolute distance to the
reference point.
Do not change the datum after measuring the axis
error and before entering the axis error into the
compensation table.
• Spacing of the compensation points:
The spacing of the compensation points is expressed as:
Spacing = 2
x
[µm].
Enter the value of the exponent x in into the compensation
value table.
Minimum input value: 6 (= 0.064 mm)
Maximum input value: 20 (= 1048.576 mm)
Example: 900 mm traverse with 15 compensation points
==> 60.000 mm spacing between points.
Nearest power of two: 2
16
= 65.536 mm (see
“Table for determining the point spacing” )
Input value in the table: 16
• Compensation value:
You enter the measured compensation value (in milli-
meters) for the displayed compensation point. Compensa-
tion point 0 always has the value 0 and cannot be changed.
Nonlinear Axis Error Compensation
If you want to use the nonlinear axis error
compensation feature, you must:
• Activate the feature with operating parameter
40 (see “ Operating Parameters” ).
• Traverse the reference marks after switching
on the display unit.
• Enter a compensation value table.
Nonlinear Axis Error Compensation
Your machine may have a nonlinear axis error due to factors
such as axis sag or leadscrew errors. Such deviations are
usually measured with acomparator measuring system (such
as the HEIDENHAIN VM 101).
You select the compensation table through P00 CODE and by
entering the code number 10 52 96 (see Operating
Parameters).
Ascertaining the compensation values
To ascertain the compensation values (e.g. with aVM 101)
you must select the compensation table and then press the
“ –” key to select the REF display.
The letter “ R” at the left of the display indicates that the
displayed position value is given with respect to the reference
mark. If “R” blinks, you must traverse the reference mark.

RS-232-C/V.24 Data Interface (X31)
The RS-232-C/V.24 interface (X31) of your display unit enables
you to output measured data in ASCII format, for example to a
printer or PC.
Connecting cable
You can use a connecting cable with full wiring (figure at
upper right) or simplified wiring (below right). A cable with full
wiring is available from HEIDENHAIN (Id. Nr. 274 545-...). On
this type of cable, pin 6 and pin 8 are additionally connected
over a jumper.
Maximum cable length: 20 m (66 ft)

Distance-to-Go Mode
Distance-to-Go Display Mode
Normally, the display shows the actual position of the en-
coder. However, it is often more helpful to display the re-
maining distance to an entered nominal position — especially
when you are using the display unit for machine tools and au-
tomation purposes. You can then position simply by traversing
to display value zero.
You can access the distance-to-go display by entering the
code number 246 582.
