Connection details Important Details The NMS100 is only compatible with TTL Encoders. It is important to ensure that: Secure all the cables to prevent the connectors from dropping into hazardous positions (for example the floor or coolant tray) when they are unplugged. Route all cables to prevent them from being caught on moving parts.

Using setpoints allows the operator to work to zero by calling up stored dimensions, instead of “working up” to drawing dimensions. This eliminates the need to constantly refer to the drawing, and reduces the possibility of scrapping parts due to misread dimensions.

The NMS100 readout is capable of offering basic serial communications via a dedicated hardware RS232 compatible port, This is only used for output purposes and is how the logging function operates. The communication parameters for the NMS 100 are: 115200 band, no parity, 1 stop bit, 8 data bit. Logging Connection (RS232) On the back of the NMS100 is a 15 way D female connector that is used to allow logging data to be output to another compatible RS232 device.
Standard functions RS232 Output Data Format The output data for the RS232 is as follows; The current axis data for the axes available on the system in transmitted. For two axes systems, only two axes of data will be transmitted. The data Packet structures of 12 characters is defined as follows: The Axes ID is the representation of the axis at the time of printing.
