Page 9: Introduction
ELS EnBOX - Dual Encoder Readout Box. 1.1 EnBOX overview The CAEN ELS EnBOX is a stand-alone readout device that must be used to interface the BEST system with RENISHAW TONiC™ and RESOLUTE™ in-air or UHV encoders. The EnBOX provides a TCP/IP server to obtain data from encoders, to configure the device and to check the operational status. -
Page 10: Enbox At A Glance
The EnBOX provides an embeeded TCP/IPv4 server running on standard 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet. 1.2 EnBOX at a Glance The EnBOX unit and its I/O connections can be seen in Figure 1 (front) and in Figure 2 (rear). Absolute encoder (RESOLUTE) interface... - Page 11 A blue “Status LED” is used to signal the correct operation of the device. During normal operation of the EnBOX unit the “Status LED” is blinking with a frequency of 0.5Hz – i.e. the LED changes its status every 2 seconds – on the other hand, if a fault condition arises, the LED blinks with a higher frequency than 2 Hz.
- Page 12 The external and general purpose I/O pins are not yet used and are reserved for future use. On the rear panel of the EnBOX there is a small hole that gives access to a reset button (“RST”), which can be used to reset the unit.

SFP interface to the BEST Central Unit. Please note that any monitoring instrument using the same two communication protocols can be read by an EnBOX unit. Contact CAENels or S.RI.Tech for details in case of need to interate devices different from the RENISHAW encoders mentioned above 1.3.1... -
Page 14: Tonic™ Interface
16 kHz. In some configuration, TONiC™ encoders also provide alarm signal and end- switch indicators. EnBOX monitors these inputs and provides both direct output and latched output (see "TONIC:AUX?" and "TONIC:AUX_CLEAR" commands). The quadrature-encoder itself does not have any intrinsic data rate; however, to be consistent with the RESOLUTE™... -

Page 16: Software Commands
Software Commands 2. Software Commands This chapter describes the software commands used for configuration of the EnBOX unit and for data readout from encoders. For more information about the Ethernet settings see the Ethernet Communication chapter. 2.1 Command Syntax The command syntax used by the EnBOX protocol is described in the following sections. - Page 17 Commands are processed one at a time; therefore, user must wait for a response from the unit before sending the next command. All the responses from the EnBOX device are in upper case and are terminated with the same ‘carriage return\line feed’ sequence (‘\r\n’) – i.e. CRLF – used in the command.

Page 19: Command Description
EnBOX User’s Manual Software Commands 2.3 Command description 2.3.1 GET Command The purpose of the GET command is to read back a single snapshot of the values for the active channels. The “G\r\n” command is a useful shortcut fully equivalent to the “GET:?\r\n” command. -
Page 20: Enc_Sel Command
To retrieve the current value of selector, an “ENC_SEL:?” command must be sent, to which EnBOX will return either “ENC_SEL:REL” if relative encoder or “ENC_SEL:ABS” if absolute encoder is selected. For invalid argument (neither ABC nor REL nor ?) the EnBOX will return “NAK”. Examples:... -

EnBOX User’s Manual Software Commands 2.3.3 TONIC Command The TONIC command allows reading the position values and some other auxiliary information (end-switches, alarm) from relative encoders. This command does not depend on the of ENC_SEL value. TONIC:GET? Command 2.3.3.1 This command gets a single measurement from both relative encoders. The returned string is composed of “TONIC:GET:”... -
Page 22: Tonic:aux_Clear Command
EnBOX User’s Manual Software Commands TONIC:AUX_CLEAR Command 2.3.3.3 This command clears the latches for alarm, P, and Q end-switches. Example: TONIC:AUX_CLEAR\r\n ACK\r\n TONIC:SETUP? Command 2.3.3.4 This command returns the value read on the setup pin on TONiC™ interface. The command returns “TONIC:SETUP:” literal followed by two floating point values, separated by comma (“,”). -
Page 23: Status Command
Software Commands 2.3.4 STATUS Command The internal status register of the EnBOX shows the status of the unit. The status is composed of 6 bytes – i.e. 48 bits. As of version 1.0.98, no bit in the STATUS register has an assigned role and all bits are fixed to 0. -
Page 24: Ver Command
2.3.7 HWRESET Command The “HWRESET\r\n” command performs a complete reset of the hardware and firmware on the on-board FPGA, thus re-initializing the entire EnBOX module control electronics. The unit replies with an acknowledgment string (“ACK\r\n”) before resetting the module. -
