HEIDENHAIN Working with the measured ND 231 value display unit • Confirm entry value • Set display to value from Actual value and input display • Select datum P79 (P80!) (7-segment LED, • Page backward in 9 decades and sign)
The ND 231 measured value display unit is designed for use with two HEIDENHAIN linear or rotary encoders with sinusoidal output signals. Each encoder has one reference mark or several reference marks, which may also be distance-coded . When a reference mark is crossed over, it generates a signal identify- ing that position as a reference point.
Selecting the Display You select the display for the ND 231 with • switching inputs (see D-sub connection EXT) or • operating parameter P06 (see list of operating parameters). If you select the display over the switching inputs, operating parameter P06 has no effect on the display.
Input the command STX (Ctrl B) over the RXD input Input a latch command over the D-sub connection EXT. A connecting cable (for example to a PC) is available from HEIDENHAIN (Id.-Nr. 274 545 ..). Cables up to 20 m (66 ft) are permitted.

D-sub connection EXT Danger to internal components! Voltage sources from external circuitry must conform to the recommendations in EN 50 178 for low-voltage electrical separation. Connect inductive loads only with a quenching diode parallel to the inductance. Use only shielded cable! Connect the shield to the connector housing.
Internal counter overflow Error while crossing over reference marks 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.
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...
