Page 4: Introduction
1. Introduction ZU 251 represents a small and low-cost, but highly performing converter for industrial applications, where incremental counting of positions or events must be converted to either analogue format or serial data. The unit has been designed as a compact module with 12 screw terminals and a 9-position SUB-D connector (female). -
Page 5: Applicable Encoders And Sensors
2. Applicable encoders and sensors The converter can accept the following impulse sources: • Encoders with HTL level output (12–30V) and either PNP or NPN or Push-Pull or NAMUR characteristics, using quadrature output signals A and B • TTL / RS422 encoders providing the output lines A, /A ,B and /B •... -
Page 6: Terminal Assignment
3. Terminal Assignment We recommend connecting the Minus wire of the power supply to earth potential. Please observe that, under poor earthing and grounding conditions, multiple earth connections of screens and GND terminals may cause severe problems. In such cases it may be better to have only one central earthing point for the whole system. -

Proximity switches, photocells etc. This connection is fully similar to a HTL incremental encoder. With single-channel operation, input B remains unconnected or can be used to select the output polarity. -
Page 8: Serial Interfaces
3.5. Serial interfaces The unit provides a RS232 interface and a RS485 interface, however only one of the two can be used at a time. Serial communication allows to read out the counting result and to set parameters and variables by PC, according to need. GND int. -

Page 11: Setup Procedure
5. Setup Procedure For all basic applications you can use the Teach feature for commissioning of the unit. Extended functions need a PC for setup and are described under section 7. As a first step it is advisable to check the input pulses by means of the LED marked “Status”. DIL switch 6 must be set to ON for this test. -

- Page 18 Parameter Description Reset Value: With every reset command, the counter presets to the datum set here (e.g. 000 000) and the analogue output follows the new counter state according to its output scaling. Round Loop: This register limits the counting range to a repeating loop. With setting of 1000, in upwards direction 999 is followed by to 000, and in downwards direction the counter sets to 1000 when reaching zero.
- Page 19 Parameter Description RS232 / RS485 Setting: Especially with RS 485 applications it is necessary to attach a specific Unit Number: address to each unit, since up to 32 units can be connected to the same bus. You can choose any address number between 11 and 99. Factory setting = 11 The address must not contain a “0“...
- Page 20 The following register settings control the automatic cyclic transmission of internal register values by serial interface to peripherals like printers or displays. Parameter Description Serial Protocol: This register selects the serial protocol for the cyclic transmission. When set to 0, the string starts with the serial address of the unit (“Unit Number”), followed by a space and the value of the register to be read out.

Page 21: Free Programmable Linearization
10. Free Programmable Linearization This programmable feature allows the user to convert the linear counting process to a non- linear analogue output. There are 16 programmable interpolation points available, which can be set in any desired distance over the full conversion range. Between two coordinates, the unit uses linear interpolation. - Page 22 You can visualize your curve on the PC screen or by means of an external oscilloscope. For this, select TOOLS, then TEST and there „Analogue Voltage Function“. The unit will now simulate a repeating counting cycle over the full range and generate the analogue signal accordingly.
