That is why a wide assortment of incremental and absolute encoders with focus on robust products and qual- ity down to the last detail can be offered. Leine Linde encoders provide the utmost in reliability year after year, in working conditions where vibration, dirt, cold and other harsh environments are common.
1.3 Encoder with integrated diagnostics An incremental encoder from Leine Linde always has the basic function of giving electrical pulses with a frequency related to the rotational speed of a shaft. An encoder equipped with ADS Uptime has an additional integrated diagnostic system, separate from this basic function, which constantly monitors that the basic func- tion is operating correctly.
ADS Uptime 800 USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com 2 Functionality: diagnostics and data acquisition ADS Uptime is a diagnostics system monitoring the encoder’s key functions, but also a system for acquisi- tion of data from the surrounding environment through a number of sensors. Each encoder has an integrated memory where detailed data of the encoder’s operating history is stored.
ADS Uptime 800 USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com It also keeps track of the following values accumulated by the actual encoder unit. • Revolutions (total number generated) • Time powered • Time in motion A detailed description of the ambient parameters and accumulated values can be found in Appendix B.
ADS Uptime 800 USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com 2.3 Encoder status An important function in ADS Uptime is that the system conducts automatic interpretation and analysis of each detected fault. The analysis determines the seriousness of the fault and sorts it into one of the below categories based on the encoder’s condition.

ADS Uptime 800 USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com If ADS Uptime detects an alarm or warning in the encoder, the status will change and an electrical fault indica- tion will be sent via the signal cable. To enable this function, the connection must be made in the following way.
ADS Uptime 800 USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com 3. ADS Uptime wireless (Bluetooth) 3.1 Connection interface The ADS Uptime diagnostics data and configuration can be accessed via Bluetooth, BLE 4.1. The Bluetooth has a range of approximately 20 meters but the total range is influenced by environment and obstacles.

• Serial number - The serial number is unique for each produced encoder. This is the way to tell one unit from another. The serial number is written on the label of the Leine Linde encoder. • Model - The general model description for the encoder is stated in the Encoder details list. Please note that encoders from the same model can still be of many different variants, because of their modularity.
• Manufacturing date - The manufacturing date is set in the factory when the encoder is produced. • Commissioning date - The commissioning date is automatically set the first time the encoder is powered on (outside the Leine Linde factory). 3.2.5 Alarm settings In addition to the configurable alarm settings, the maximum and minimum values of the sliders will always trigger a manufacturer alarm.

Under Alarms you can see all the active warnings/alarms. Figure 17 The alarm list tab shows current and acknowledged warnings and alarms Note: Warnings and alarms related to environmental parameters cannot be acknowledged until 5 minutes after the alarm has occurred.
ADS Uptime 800 USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com To get more detailed information about an event, tap the event in the alarm list on the screen. Figure 18 Analysis details 3.2.11 Acknowledge function Figure 19 Acknowledge alarm window...
ADS Uptime 800 USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com The warnings are related to the ambient environment of the encoder, indicating an external problem. If actions are taken in time to change the environment to an acceptable level, the encoder is still operational. Acknowl- edgement of a warning will therefore reset the encoder status to normal state (steady green).
ADS Uptime 800 USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com 3.2.13 Create PDF from analysis For each warning that occurs it is possible to download a set of sensor readings from just before and after the event which can then be exported as a .pdf report. The report can be shared via several functions installed on the mobile device.
4.1 OPC-UA connection via ADS Link Leine Linde encoders with ADS Uptime can be connected via an ADS Link to enable system integration of the diagnostic data into a system using OPC-UA communication. The interface between the encoder and ADS Link is handled via the power cable, or alternatively, depending on connection interface, via separate RS485 chan- nels.
ADS Uptime 800 USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com 4.1.2 ADS Link OPC-UA server The ADS Link functions as an OPC-UA server that provides information about the encoder and its surroundings during operation, and enables two-way communication with an OPC-UA client. The ADS Link is used together with one ADS Uptime compatible encoder as an attachment device. For the OPC- UA server to start, it is mandatory to have an encoder connected to the ADS Link.
ADS Uptime 800 USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com 4.2.1 Log in To log in and access your device, click on “Log in”. Username is “admin” and password is the ADS Link serial number, which can be found on the product label on the side of the product.
ADS Uptime 800 USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com 4.2.2 Overview The first tab, “Overview”, is a general description of the connected ADS Link and the attached encoder. Status indication shows in green, “OK”, if the product is powered and connected. For detailed information about the status indication, please see chapter 3.1.3, Status indication for ADS Link unit.
ADS Uptime 800 USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com ADS Link will use RS-485 if connected, otherwise it will use SIG60. Figure 24 ADS Link web server “Settings” tab The signal quality reading indicates how good the communication between the ADS Link and the encoder is. If two ADS Links with SIG60 are mounted too close to each other and/or the power supply cables are not properly shielded the signal quality will fall.
ADS Uptime 800 USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com 4.2.4 Update In the third tab, the “Update” view, you can update and/or upgrade your ADS Link and/or the attached encoder. To update, press “Choose file” to find the file you want to send to the ADS Link or encoder.
ADS Uptime 800 USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com When the installation is complete, you need to reboot the updated device to finalize the update. Figure 26 Reboot the updated device for the change to take effect 4.3 OPC-UA configuration example The following configuration example is made in Unified Automation UaExpert.

ADS Uptime 800 USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com 4.3.6 Acknowledge/active/disable warnings If there is an active warning or alarm the corresponding parameter in the “Warnings and alarms” folder will be set to the value 1. A warning can be acknowledged by writing 0 to the parameter. To prevent the warning from appearing again it can be disabled by writing -1 to the parameter.
ADS Uptime 800 USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com APPENDIX A: Constant function monitoring The image below, figure 37, shows an overview of the basic encoder functions that are constantly monitored by the diagnostics system. Any deviation from expected functionality will result in a warning or alarm. Detailed description follows in text for each possible error type.
ADS Uptime 800 USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com State transition fault The change of state at channel S00 and S90 is normally changed in accordance with the green arrows, see figure 39 below. The alarm signal is activated if the state is changed in accordance with the red arrows.
ADS Uptime 800 USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com Reference pulse not detected This is activated if no reference pulse (Sref) is obtained before the ADS system has counted twice the resolu- tion the encoder shall have. The encoder must be rotated through one additional revolution from the point at which the reference pulse is absent before the fault is activated.
ADS Uptime 800 USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com Status: This error is considered an external one, related to the ambient environment. Resulting status will therefore be orange. Faulty output signal for the reference pulse The reference pulse signal internally in the encoder is compared with the signal that is sent out on the cable.
ADS Uptime 800 USER MANUAL www.leinelinde.com APPENDIX B: Monitoring of ambient environmental parameters All ambient environmental parameters are sampled with an interval of 0,1 second. In order to generate a warn- ing, the actual environment must however exceed the permitted level during a time period of at least 1 second.
