Position Encoders and Reference Marks
The ND 221 B display unit is designed for use with
photoelectrical linear encoders with 11 µApp sinusoidal
signals: primarily for HEIDENHAIN MT length gauges with
11 µApp.
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).

Switch-On, Traversing the Reference Marks REF Mode
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

Enter numerical value (here, 5).

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.

Measured Value Output
For technical information on the RS-232-C/V.24
data interface (X31), information on the data
format, etc., see the chapter “RS-232-C/V.24
Interface (X31).”
Measured values can be output over the RS-232-C/V.24
interface (X31), for example to a printer or PC.
There are several ways to start measured value output:
ä Press the MOD key (check the parameter settings for P86).
or
ä Input the command STX (Ctrl B) over the RXD input of the
RS-232-C/V.24 interface (X31).

Power Connection
The rear panel of the ND 221 B contains a connecting jack for
a power cord with Euro connector (power cord supplied with
the delivery).
Minimum cross section of the power cord: 0.75 mm2
Power supply: 100 Vac to 240 Vac (–15% to +10%)
50 Hz to 60 Hz (± 2 Hz)
A voltage selector is therefore not necessary.
Danger of electrical shock!
Unplug the power cord before opening the
housing. Connect the grounding conductor.
Do not interrupt the grounding conductor.
Danger to internal components!
Do not engage or disengage any connections while
the unit is under power. Use only original
replacement fuses.
To increase noise immunity, connect the ground
terminal on the rear panel to the central ground
point of the machine.
(Minimum cross-section: 6 mm2)

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.

If you wish to change protected operating parameters, you
must first enter the code number 95 148:
ä Select the user parameter P00 CODE.
ä Enter the code number 95 148.
ä Confirm entry with ENT.
Parameter P30 appears on the display. By paging through the
list of operating parameters you can display—and, if
necessary, change—each protected operating parameter and,
of course, each user parameter.
Once you have entered the code number, the
protected operating parameters remain accessible
until the display unit is switched off.

Default setting: 0.000
= no backlash compensation
During a change in direction, the mechanical play between the
encoder and table, the so-called backlash, can cause error.
Positive backlash: The rotary encoder moves before the table,
therefore display value is too high (positive value input).
Negative backlash: The rotary encoder moves after the table,
therefore the display value is too low (negative value input).

You can select a specific display step by adapting the
following operating parameters:
• Signal period (P31)
• Counting mode (P33)
• Decimal places (P38)
Example
