1General Informaton
1.1 Dokumentation
The following documents describe this product:
The data sheet describes the technical data, the dimensions, the pin assignments, the
accessories and the order key.
The installation instructions describe the mechanical and electrical installation including
all safety-relevant requirements and the associated technical specification.
The user manual for commissioning and integrating the position indicator into a fieldbus
syste
These documents can also be downloaded at http://www.siko-global.com/p/ap10s.
Additional information and support for this device can also be found there.
1.2 Definitions
If not explicitly indicated otherwise, decimal values are given as figures without addition (e.
g. 1234), binary values are labeled with b (e. g. 1011b), hexadecimal values are identified by
h (e. g. 280h) after the figures.
2Intended use
The device is an absolute position indicator with a plug-in connection for MS500H magnetic
sensor for direct linear distance measurement (combined with MB500 magnetic tape) or a
supported GS04 magnetic sensor for direct shaft mounting. Actual and target values are
indicated via the backlit two-row LC display. A direction indicator (arrow) is blended in if the
actual value deviates from the target value including the adjustable target window. The
direction of the arrow indicates the direction of shaft movement necessary to reach the
target. Additionally, various visualization tasks can be realized by means of two bi-color LEDs.
The device parameters can be adjusted by means of 3 keys. You can change the set point,
output the position value and adjust all device parameters via the integrated bus interface.
Scanning is magnetically-incremental. In the currentless state, scanning and saving of
changes of the position value are battery-supported.
The state of charge of the replaceable battery is monitored and signified.
If no sensor is connected or the MS500H sensor lifted off the tape, an error will be detected
and the position value displayed red with a flashing "Error" message. This condition survives a
power failure. The error must be remedied by way of calibration after checking the sensor
connection or sensor position, respectively.
Display and interface are active with external power supply only.

2.1 Switching on the supply voltage
The AP10S will be initialized after switching on the supply voltage. A display test is executed
during initialization, the LEDs are lighted consecutively and the configutation parameters are
loaded from the non-volative memory into the RAM of the controller.
With the display still unconfigured all parameters are set to their default values. See to it that
the bus will be connected only after correct adjustment of baud rate and ID (see chapter 4.3:
Parameterization of the position indicator and 6.8: Auto-ID). The AP10S functions with the
data last parameterized.
AP10S is in the normal operating state. According to the requirements of the application, the
display can be parameterized via the SIKONETZ5 interface in this state.
3Display and control keys
3.1 General
The position indicator has a two-line display with special characters and three control keys.
The keys serve for position indicator parameterization and control. Two LEDs (1) serve for
monitoring positioning.
Fig. 1: Control elements
3.2 LCD display
The display range is limited to -19999 … 99999. Values outside this range
are displayed with "".
With supply voltage applied to the position indicator with factory settings, the actual value
will be displayed in the 1st row and the set point in the 2nd row. If there is no valid set point,
"---" will be displayed in the 2nd row. The values displayed are determined by the operating
mode.
Direction indicators (arrows) support positioning.
The battery symbol is shown with a critical or insufficient battery status.
With incremental measurement function activated, the incremental measurement symbol
is shown.
LED1

Functional Description
AP10S Date: 04.09.2017 Art. No. 87826 Mod. status 269/17 Page 7 of 48
If battery voltage drops to a critical value, the battery symbol on the display will flash. If it
falls below the minimum value, the symbol will glow permanently.
Errors are signified by red characters.
3.2.1 Extended display range
Values up to -999999 can be displayed by means of the control word. If the relevant bit has
been set and the value to be displayed is between -199999 and -999999, then the negative
sign and the digit of the highest order will flash alternately. If the value range drops below -
999999, "" will be displayed.
3.3 LED display
In its basic state (factory setting) the LED display has different meanings depending on the
operating mode (see chapter 4.1: Operating modes).
With the basic function of the LEDs inactivated, every LED can be controlled independently via
the control word (see chapters 6.9.8 to 6.9.10 and 6.9.31: LEDs and chapter 6.3.4: Control
word).
3.4 Keys
Pressing the key enables or disables the incremental measurement function. With the
Auto-ID function, the new ID is adopted by actuating this key (see chapter 6.8: Auto-ID).
Pressing the key starts calibration (see chapter 4.6.2: Calibration) and acknowledges a
pending error (see chapter 4.5.2: Errors).
Pressing the key starts the parameterization mode (see chapter 4.3: Parameterization of
the position indicator).

the relevant control word. The data identifier differentiates whether the data is interpreted
and displayed as figures or alpha-numeric characters (ASCII) (see chapter 6.3.4: Control
word).
4.1.1 Position-bound operating modes
4.1.1.1 Positioning
(see chapter 4.1.1.2: Loop positioning)
Arrows: (see parameter 0Ch: Direction indicators (CW, CCW))
Arrows are displayed to support the user with positioning as long as the current actual
position value is outside (see parameter 20h: Target window1 (near field)) target window1.
The direction of the arrow indicates the direction of shaft rotation in order to arrive at the set
point.
LED-Anzeige: (siehe z. B. Parameter 09h: LED1 (green left))
With factory setting, the LED glows green as long as the actual position is within the
programmed window1. When leaving target window1, the LED glows red. The sensor must be
adjusted in the direction of the glowing LED in order to arrive at the set point2. The red
glowing LED on the right means: clockwise (cw) rotation required. Red glowing LED on the
left: counter-clockwise (ccw) rotation required.

Fig. 3: Positioning monitoring with target window2
4.1.1.2 Loop positioning
Target window1 is also applied to the loop length.
If the position indicator is operated on a spindle or an additional gear, the spindle or external
gear backlash can be compensated by means of loop positioning. Therefore, movement
towards the set point is always in the same direction. This direction of approach can be
defined.
Example:
The direction from which every target position shall be driven to is positive.
Case 1 the new position is greater than actual position:
Direct travel to the target position.
Case 2 the new position is smaller than actual position:
The position indicator's arrows show that the set point is to be overrun by the loop length.
Afterwards, the set point is approached in positive direction.

4.2 Battery buffering
The battery makes possible the detection of currentless displacement. Battery life is approx. 5
years depending on the duration of battery operation (including storage) and frequency of
currentless adjustments. Battery voltage is checked at intervals of approx. 5 min. If battery
voltage drops below a specified value, the battery symbol will blink on the display. If
the battery voltage continues to drop, will be displayed permanently. The battery
should be replaced within approx. three months after the first appearance of the battery
symbol. The battery can be replaced by the SIKO distribution partners or at the SIKO main
factory. For battery replacement it is mandatory to follow the instructions of the installation
instructions.
Status word:
The charge status of the battery is signified in the status word. Bit 11 is set when the
charging voltage is critical and an error is signified with the additional bit 7 set when the
battery is empty.
4.3 Parameterization of the position indicator
The position indicator can be fully parameterized via the bus interface. You can configure
manually via keyboard the most significant bus parameters (node address, baud rate, protocol,
bus timeout and reponse delay time).
4.3.1 Manual parameterization
4.3.1.1 Starting parameterization
After applying supply voltage and completion of initialization, the position indicator is on the
uppermost level of the menu structure (default/Factory settings).
By actuating the key, the set node address and baud rate is displayed. Parameterization
starts if it is actuated for the duration of the enable time (see parameter 04h: Keys enable
time: Configuration start delay and 3Dh: Key function enable3: Configuration enable via
keyboard).
4.3.1.2 Value input
Enter values via the key and the key. Confirm values entered by pressing the key.

4.3.2 Parameterization via interface
The position indicator can be completely parameterized in the RS485-SIKONETZ5 interface
(see chapter 6: Communication via SIKONETZ 5).
4.4 Sensor
Alignment travel is required if a new sensor is connected (see chapter 4.6.1:
Alignment travel).
Mounting of the sensors as well as installation of the sensor cable is explained in the
documentation pertaining to the sensor MS500H or GS04. With supply voltage switched on,
the display monitors the connected sensor. If no sensor is connected or if the sensor is lifted
from the tape (MS500H), an error will be detected and the position value displayed red with
flashing "Error". This status persists even with power supply failure. The error must be
corrected after checking the sensor connection or sensor position with calibration (see
chapter 3.4: Keys and chapter 4.6.2: Calibration). If both battery supply and power supply fail
simultaneously (e. g. during a battery change), the absolute position value can get lost. For
making the measuring system work again, calibration is required (see chapter 4.5.2: Errors and
4.6.2: Calibration).

4.6.1 Alignment travel
The AP10S is fully functional as delivered. To adjust the display to the connected sensor and
to achieve optimum measuring accuracy, alignment travel must be carried out whenever a
new/different sensor is connected to the AP10S. For calibration, the sensor must have been
mounted correctly (see documentation MS500H or GS04).
1. By entering the CODE 000100 or the SIKONETZ5 command "Encoder software alignment"
AP10S is set to the alignment mode (see chapter 4.3.1: Manual parameterization and
6.9.48: C3h: Start sensor alignment).
Display: 1st line. "ADJUST"
2nd line. "100" this value may vary by ±1.
2. When connecting sensor MS500H, it must be moved by a few millimeters in the direction
of the cable outlet (speed <1 cm/s).
When connecting sensor GS04, the shaft must be rotated clockwise by a few millimeters
(speed <<1 U/min).
In the lower line, the value will change in positive direction up to "103".
3. The alignment process will be completed when this value is finally exceeded. AP10S has
returned to normal operation and shows the corresponding display. If values above 103
are displayed during alignment, then travel speed must be slowed down during alignment.
4. It is not unusual that the position value cannot be displayed immediately after alignment
travel and "FULL" is displayed instead of the value. The display should be calibrated in
this case (see chapter 4.6.2: Calibration).
4.6.2 Calibration
Two steps are required for executing calibration:
1. Write calibration value (see object 1Fh: Calibration value)
2. Execute calibration (reset) (see chapter 3.4: Keys or object A7h: Calibration)
Since the measuring system is an absolute system, calibration is necessary only once with
commissioning. With calibration, the calibration value is adopted for calculation of the
position value. The following equation is applied in case of calibration:

4.6.4 Diagnosis
To receive a list of device errors that occurred switch the device to the diagnosis mode. Enter
CODE "200000" in parameterization (see chapter 4.3.1: Manual parameterization) and confirm
by pressing the key. Any errors occurring are output indicating the error number and total
of occurrences in the upper row. The type of error is shown in the lower row. Error number 1
contains the latest error. The oldest error is output with the highest error number.

6.1 Interface
RS485 interface
Available baud rates: 19.2 kBit / 57.6 kBit (factory setting) / 115.2 kBit
No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no handshake
6.2 Data exchange
The protocol functions according to the master –slave principle.
The position indicator acts as a slave. Every instance of communication must be initiated by
the master. When the master has sent a command telegram, the slave sends a reply telegram.
Broadcast commands are an exception, they remain always unanswered by the slave.
The protocol is optimized for cyclical data exchange. The relevant data such as set point and
actual value as well as control and status words can be transferred between master and slave
by a single telegram exchange.
The parameter to be returned by the slave as a reply to the master's Write set point command
can be defined via the "Write set point reply parameter".

The master requests all connected slaves to execute the
command transferred in the same telegram.
6.3.2 Node address
The device address can be freely set in the range of 0 to 127. The delivered devices are preset
to node address 31 ex works and must be reset to the desired address to enable their
operation with multiple slaves on the SIKONETZ5 fieldbus (see parameter 00h: Node address
and chapter 6.8: Auto-ID).
Each address can be assigned in the fieldbus only once!
6.3.3 Parameter address
A distinct address is assigned to every parameter (e. g. calibration value) or functional value
(e. g. set point) (see chapter 6.9: Parameter description).
