Configuring The Display; Linear Encoder; Angle Encoder; Analog Sensor For Compensation - HEIDENHAIN ND 287 - 8-2010 Operating Instructions Manual

Configuring the display

In the DISPLAY CONFIGURATION form you determine the display
resolution for the different encoders.
In the INSTALLATION SETUP menu, select DISPLAY

CONFIGURATION.
If you have configured the ND for two axes in the APPLICATION

field under COUNTER SETTINGS, a list of of the two possible
encoder inputs, labelled INPUT X1 and X2, appears.
Scroll to the input you want to configure and press ENTER.

The selectable display resolution depends on the signal
period. The smallest selectable display resolution
corresponds to the rounded-off value calculated from
dividing the signal period by 4096. For linear encoders,
resolutions from 0.5 mm to 0.001 µm are possible, and for
rotary encoders from 0.5° to 0.000001° (00°00'00.1").

Linear encoder

Press the COARSER or FINER soft key to select the display

resolution for the axis display in the DISPL. RESOLUTION X1 or X2
field.

Angle encoder

Press the COARSER or FINER soft key to select the display

resolution for the axis display in the DISPL. RESOLUTION X1 or X2
field.
In the ANGLE DISPLAY field, press the ANGLE soft key to choose

between the three following angle formats:
+/– 180 DEGREES

360 DEGREES

+/– INFINITE


Analog sensor for compensation

Press the COARSER or FINER soft key to select the display

resolution for the measured value in the DISPL. RESOLUTION X1 or
X2 field. The minimum resolution depends on the assignment of the
measured values to the voltage values. The ND subdivides the input
voltage range of ±10 V 4096-fold, i.e. in steps of 5 mV.
If two axes are coupled, the finer of the two display
resolutions will be used.
