In general no maintenance is required for PWM, since there are no components that are subject to wear. However, to ensure reliable and trouble-free operation we recommend to send your PWM 8 including the interface boards (especially 11µApp and 1Vpp) every 2 years to HEIDENHAIN, Traunreut for calibration.

The quality of the output signals has an influence on the measuring accuracy of the linear and rotary encoders. The tolerances stated are valid for standard applications of HEIDENHAIN encoders (e.g. LS on machine tools with measuring steps up to 1 µm).
The current signal of the incremental linear encoders can be interpolated and digitized either in the subsequent electronics, e.g. HEIDENHAIN ND position display or TNC numeric control or in a separate HEIDENHAIN EXE interpolation and digitizing electronics. For current signals the maximum cable length between linear encoder and subsequent electronics is 30 m provided that original HEIDENHAIN cables are used.
(see section 13, adapter connector). When using original HEIDENHAIN cables, voltage signals can be transferred over a distance of 150 m to the subsequent electronics. For this purpose a supply voltage of 5 V ± 5% or 5 V ± 10% (depending on the encoder model) must be ensured at the encoder.
12.1.3 Output Signals TTL square-wave signals Encoders that output TTL square-wave signals feature electronics that digitize the sinusoidal scanning signals without interpolation. Two TTL square-wave signals Ua1 and Ua2 that are phase-shifted by 90° are output together with the reference pulse Ua0 gated with the incremental signals Ua1 and Ua2. Encoders with distance-coded reference marks output several Ua0 reference pulses.

12.1.4 Output Signals HTL square-wave signals The design of encoders with HTL square-wave signals is similar that of encoders with TTL square-wave signals. Output signals are HTL square-wave pulse trains Ua1 and Ua2 together with the reference pulse Ua0 that is gated with the incremental signals Ua1 and Ua2. To each square-wave pulse train the integral electronics in addition outputs the corresponding inverted signal (not with ERN 1030).
Page 56
HTL square-wave signals can be transferred over cable lengths up to 300 m (ERN 1030: 100 m) to the subsequent electronics (PLC etc.). We recommend not to exceed the cable length related to the scanning frequency and to the power supply, since otherwise the switching times resp.
