HEIDENHAIN Angle Encoders
The term angle encoder is typically used to

describe encoders that have an accuracy of
better than 5 and a line count above
10000.
In contrast, rotary encoders are encoders
that typically have an accuracy of more
than 10.
Angle encoders are found in applications
requiring precision angular measurement
to accuracies within several arc seconds.
Rotary table
Examples:
Rotary tables on machine tools
Swivel heads on machine tools
C-axes of lathes
Measuring machines for gears
Printing units of printing machines
Spectrometers
Telescopes
etc.
The tables on the following pages list
different types of angle encoders to suit
the various applications and meet different
requirements.
RCN 729
The RCN 729 angle encoder mounted onto the rotary table of a machine tool
Angle encoders can have one of the

following mechanical designs:
Angle encoders with integral bearing,
hollow shaft and integrated stator
coupling
Because of the design and mounting of the
stator coupling, it must only absorb that
torque caused by friction in the bearing
during angular acceleration of the shaft.
RCN, RON and RPN angle encoders
therefore provide excellent dynamic
performance. With an integrated stator
coupling, the stated system accuracy
also includes the deviations from the
shaft coupling.
Other advantages:
Compact size for limited installation
space
Hollow shaft diameters up to 100 mm for
leading power cables, etc.
Simple installation

Measuring Principles
Measuring Standard
HEIDENHAIN encoders incorporate

measuring standards of periodic
structures known as graduations.
These graduations are applied to a glass
or steel substrate. Glass scales are used
primarily in encoders for speeds up to
10 000 min1. For higher speedsup to
20 000 min1steel drums are used.
The scale substrate for large diameters
is a steel tape.
Absolute Measuring Method
Absolute angle encoders feature multiple

coded graduation tracks. The code
arrangement provides the absolute position
information, which is available immediately
after switch-on. The track with the finest
grating structure is interpolated for the
position value and at the same time is used
to generate an incremental signal (see
EnDat Interface).
These precision graduations are

manufactured in various photolithographic
processes. Graduations are fabricated
from:
extremely hard chromium lines on glass
or gold-plated steel drums,
matte-etched lines on gold-plated steel
tape, or
three-dimensional structures etched into
quartz glass.
These photolithographic manufacturing
processesDIADUR, AURODUR or
METALLURdeveloped by HEIDENHAIN
produce grating periods of:
40 m for AURODUR
20 m for METALLUR
10 m for DIADUR
4 m with etched quartz glass
These processes permit very fine grating
periods and are characterized by a high
definition and homogeneity of the line
edges. Together with the photoelectric
scanning method, this high edge definition
is a precondition for the high quality of the
output signals.
The master graduations are manufactured
by HEIDENHAIN on custom-built highprecision ruling machines.

12
Incremental Measuring Method
In some cases, this may require a rotation

up to nearly 360. To speed and simplify
such reference runs, many encoders
feature distance-coded reference
marksmultiple reference marks that are
individually spaced according to a
mathematical algorithm. The subsequent
electronics find the absolute reference
after traversing two successive reference
marksmeaning only a few degrees of
traverse (see nominal increment I in the
table).
Encoders with distance-coded reference
marks are identified with a C behind the
model designation (e. g. RON 786 C).

With distance-coded reference marks, the

absolute reference is calculated by
counting the signal periods between two
reference marks and using the following
formula:
1 = (abs Asgn A1) x I + (sgn Asgn D) x abs MRR

2
Properties and Mounting
With the incremental measuring

method, the graduation consists of a
periodic grating structure. The position
information is obtained by counting the
individual increments (measuring steps)
from some point of origin. Since an
absolute reference is required to ascertain
positions, the scales or scale tapes are
provided with an additional track that bears
a reference mark. The absolute position on
the scale, established by the reference
mark, is gated with exactly one measuring
step.
The reference mark must therefore be
scanned to establish an absolute reference
or to find the last selected datum.

Scanning the Measuring Standard

Photoelectric Scanning
Most HEIDENHAIN encoders operate

using the principle of photoelectric
scanning. Photoelectric scanning of a
measuring standard is contact-free, and as
such free of wear. This method detects
even very fine lines, no more than a few
microns wide, and generates output
signals with very small signal periods.
The finer the grating period of a measuring
standard is, the greater the effect of
diffraction on photoelectric scanning.
HEIDENHAIN uses two scanning principles
with angle encoders:
The imaging scanning principle for
grating periods from 10 m to approx.
70 m.
The interferential scanning principle
for very fine graduations with grating
periods of 4 m.
Imaging scanning principle

Put simply, the imaging scanning principle
functions by means of projected-light
signal generation: two graduations with
equal grating periods are moved relative to
each otherthe scale and the scanning
reticle. The carrier material of the scanning
reticle is transparent, whereas the
graduation on the measuring standard may
be applied to a transparent or reflective
surface.
When parallel light passes through a grating,
light and dark surfaces are projected at a
certain distance. An index grating with the
same grating period is located here. When
the two gratings move relative to each
other, the incident light is modulated. If the
gaps in the gratings are aligned, light
passes through. If the lines of one grating
coincide with the gaps of the other, no light
passes through.
Photovoltaic cells convert these variations in

light intensity into electrical signals. The
specially structured grating of the scanning
reticle filters the light current to generate
nearly sinusoidal output signals. The
smaller the period of the grating structure
is, the closer and more tightly toleranced
the gap must be between the scanning
reticle and circular scale. Practical
mounting tolerances for encoders with the
imaging scanning principle are achieved
with grating periods of 10 m and larger.
The RCN, RON and ROD angle encoders
with integral bearing operate according to
the imaging scanning principle.

Interferential scanning principle

The interferential scanning principle
exploits the diffraction and interference of
light on a fine graduation to produce
signals used to measure displacement.
A step grating is used as the measuring
standard: reflective lines 0.2 m high are
applied to a flat, reflective surface. In front
of that is the scanning reticlea
transparent phase grating with the same
grating period as the scale.
When a light wave passes through the
scanning reticle, it is diffracted into three
partial waves of the orders 1, 0, and +1,
with approximately equal luminous
intensity. The waves are diffracted by the
scale such that most of the luminous
intensity is found in the reflected diffraction
orders +1 and 1. These partial waves meet
again at the phase grating of the scanning
reticle where they are diffracted again and
interfere. This produces essentially three
wave trains that leave the scanning reticle
at different angles. Photovoltaic cells
convert this alternating light intensity into
electrical signals.
A relative motion of the scanning reticle to

the scale causes the diffracted wave fronts
to undergo a phase shift: when the grating
moves by one period, the wave front of the
first order is displaced by one wavelength
in the positive direction, and the
wavelength of diffraction order 1 is
displaced by one wavelength in the
negative direction. Since the two waves
interfere with each other when exiting the
grating, the waves are shifted relative to
each other by two wavelengths. This
results in two signal periods from the
relative motion of just one grating period.
Interferential encoders function with
average grating periods of 4 m and finer.
Their scanning signals are largely free of
harmonics and can be highly interpolated.
These encoders are therefore especially
suited for high resolution and high
accuracy. Even so, their generous
mounting tolerances permit installation in a
wide range of applications.
The RPN 886 angle encoder with integral
bearing operates according to the
interferential scanning principle.

Measuring Accuracy
The accuracy of angular measurement is

mainly determined by:
1. The quality of the graduation
2. The quality of the scanning process
3. The quality of the signal processing
electronics
4. Eccentricity of the graduation to the
bearing
5. Radial runout of the bearing
6. Elasticity of the encoder shaft and its
coupling with the drive shaft
7. The elasticity of the stator coupling
(RCN, RON, RPN) or shaft coupling
(ROD)
For angle encoders with integral bearing

and separate shaft coupling, the angle
error of the coupling must be added (see
ROD).
For angle encoders without integral
bearing, additional deviations
resulting from mounting, errors in
the bearing of the drive shaft, and
adjustment of the scanning head
must be expected (see brochure:
Angle Encoders without Integral
Bearing) These deviations are not
reflected in the system accuracy.
In positioning tasks, the accuracy of the

angular measurement determines the
accuracy of the positioning of a rotary axis.
The system accuracy given in the
Specifications is defined as follows:
The extreme values of the total deviations
of a position arereferenced to their mean
valuewithin the system accuracy a.
The deviations are ascertained at constant
temperatures (22 C) during the final
inspection and are indicated in the calibration
chart.
For angle encoders with integral bearing
and integrated stator coupling, this value
also includes the deviation due to the
shaft coupling.
The system accuracy reflects position

deviations within one revolution as well as
those within one signal period.
Position errors within one revolution

become apparent in larger angular
motions.
Position errors within one signal period
already become apparent in very small
angular motions and in repeated
measurements. They especially lead to
speed ripples in the speed control loop.
These errors within one signal period are
caused by the quality of the sinusoidal
scanning signals and their subdivision. The

following factors influence the result:
The size of the signal period,
The homogeneity and edge definition of
the graduation
The quality of the optical filter structures
on the scanning reticle,
The characteristics of the photoelectric
detectors
The stability and dynamics during the
further processing of the analog signals.
HEIDENHAIN angle encoders take these
factors of influence into account, and permit
interpolation of the sinusoidal output signals
with subdivision accuracies of better than
1 % of the signal period (RPN: 1.5 %).
The reproducibility is even better, meaning
that useful electric subdivision factors and
small signal periods permit small enough
measuring steps (see Specifications).
Example:
Angle encoder with 36000 sinusoidal signal
periods per revolution
One signal period corresponds to 0.01 or
36.
With a signal quality of 1 %, this results
in maximum position error within one
signal period of approx. 0.0001 bzw.
0.36.

For its angle encoders with integral

bearings, HEIDENHAIN prepares individual
calibration charts and ships them with the
encoder.
The calibration chart documents the
encoder's accuracy and serves as a
traceability record to a calibration standard.
For the RCN, RON and RPN, which feature
an integrated coupling, the accuracy
specifications already include the error of
the coupling. For angle encoders with
separate shaft coupling, however, the error
caused by the coupling is not included in
the encoder specification and must be
added to calculate the total error (see
Kinematic transfer error under Mechanical
Design Types and Mounting ROD).
All measured values determined in this

manner lie within or on the graphically
depicted envelope curve. The mean value
curve shows the arithmetic mean of the
measured values, in which the reversal
error is not included.
The reversal error depends on the shaft
coupling. On angle encoders with integral
stator coupling it is determined at ten
measuring positions in forward and
backward steps. The maximum value and
arithmetic mean are documented on the

calibration chart.
The following limits apply to the reversal
error:
RCN/RON 2xx:
Max. 0.6
RCN/RON 7xx:
Max. 0.4
RCN/RON/RPN 8xx: Max. 0.4
The manufacturers inspection certificate
certifies the accuracy of the encoder. The
calibration standard is indicated in order
to certify the traceability to the national
standard.
Determination of the reversal error with forward and backward measurements
The accuracy of angle encoders is

ascertained through five forward and five
backward measurements. The measuring
positions per revolution are chosen to
determine very exactly not only the longrange error, but also the position error

RCN, RON, RPN
RCN, RON and RPN angle encoders have

an integral bearing, hollow shaft and
integrated stator coupling. The measured
shaft is directly connected with the shaft of
the angle encoder. The reference mark can
be assigned to a desired angular position of
the measured shaft from the rear of the
encoder during mounting.
The graduated disk is rigidly affixed to the
hollow shaft. The scanning unit rides on the
shaft on ball bearings and is connected to
the housing with a coupling on the stator
side. During angular acceleration of the
shaft, the coupling must absorb only that
torque caused by friction in the bearing.
Angle encoders with integrated stator
coupling therefore provide excellent
dynamic performance.

Mounting
The housing of the RCN, RON and RPN is
firmly connected to the stationary machine
part with an integral mounting flange and a
centering collar. Liquids can easily flow
away through drainage channels on the
flange.
Shaft coupling with ring nut
The RCN, RON and RPN series have a
hollow through shaft. For installation, the
hollow through shaft of the angle encoder
is placed over the machine shaft and is
fixed with a ring nut from the front of the
encoder. The ring nut can easily be
tightened with the mounting tool.
Mounting aid
RON 905 shaft coupling

The RON 905 has a bottomed hollow shaft.
The shaft connection is made via an axial
central screw.
Front end shaft coupling
It is often advantageous, especially with
rotary tables, to integrate the angle
encoder in the table so that it is freely
accessible when the rotor is lifted. This
installation from above reduces mounting
times, increases the ease for servicing,
and improves the accuracy, since the
encoder is located nearer to the rotary
table bearing and the measuring or
machining plane. The hollow shaft is
attached with the threaded holes on the
face, using special mounting elements
fitted to the individual design (not included
in delivery).
To comply with radial and axial runout
specifications, the internal bore 1 and the
shoulder surface 2 are to be used as
mounting surfaces for shaft coupling at the
face of the encoder.

Ring nuts for RCN, RON and RPN

HEIDENHAIN offers special ring nuts for
the RCN, RON and RPN angle encoders
with integral bearing and hollow through
shaft with integrated coupling. Choose the
tolerance of the shaft thread such that the
ring nut can be tightened easily, with a
minor axial play. This guarantees that the
load is evenly distributed on the shaft
connection, and prevents distortion of the
encoders hollow shaft.

ROD
Angle encoders of the ROD product family

require a separate coupling for connection
to the drive shaft. The shaft coupling
compensates axial movement and
misalignment between the shafts,
preventing excessive load on the bearing of
the angle encoder. It is important that the
encoder shaft and the drive shaft be
optimally aligned for high measurement
accuracies to be realized. The
HEIDENHAIN product program includes
diaphragm couplings and flat couplings
designed for connecting the shaft of the
ROD angle encoder to the drive shaft.
Mounting
ROD angle encoders are provided with an
integral mounting flange with centering
collar. The encoder shaft is connected to
the drive shaft by way of a diaphragm
coupling or flat coupling.

General Mechanical Information
Protection
Unless otherwise indicated, all RCN, RON,
RPN and ROD angle encoders meet
protection standard IP 67 according to
IEC 60529 (EN 60529). This includes
housings and cable outlets.
The shaft inlet provides protection to
IP 64.
Splash water should not contain any
substances that would have harmful
effects on the encoder parts. If protection
to IP 64 of the shaft inlet is not sufficient
(such as when the angle encoder is
mounted vertically), additional labyrinth
seals should be provided.
For this purpose, HEIDENHAIN offers the

DA 300 compressed air unit (filter
combination with pressure regulator and
fittings). The compressed air introduced
into the DA 300 must fulfill the
requirements of the following quality
classes as per ISO 8573-1 (2001 edition):
Max. particle size and density of solid
contaminants:
Class 4 (max. particle size: 15 m, max.
particle density: 8 mg/m3)
Total oil content:
Class 4 (oil content: 5 mg/m3)
Maximum pressure dew point:
No class (+29 C at 10 105 Pa)
The following components are necessary

for connection to the RCN, RON, RPN and
ROD angle encoders:
M5 connecting piece for
RCN/RON/RPN/ROD
with gasket and throttle 0.3 mm
for air-flow rate from 1 to 4 l/min
ID 207835-04
M5 coupling joint, swiveling
with seal
ID 207834-02
RCN, RON, RPN and ROD angle encoders

are equipped with a compressed air inlet.
Connection to a source of compressed
air slightly above atmospheric pressure
provides additional protection against
contamination.
The compressed air introduced directly
onto the encoders must be cleaned by a
microfilter, and must comply with the
following quality classes as per ISO 8573-1
(2001 edition):
Solid contaminants: Class 1(max. particle
size 0.1 m and max. particle density
0.1 mg/m3 at 1 105 Pa)
Total oil content: Class 1(max. oil
concentration 0.01 mg/m3 at 1 105 Pa)
Maximum pressure dew point: Class 4,
but with reference conditions of +3 C
at 2 105 Pa

Product Information sheet.
22
Temperature range
The angle encoders are inspected at a
reference temperature of 22 C. The
system accuracy given in the calibration
chart applies at this temperature.
The operating temperature indicates the
ambient temperature limits between which
the angle encoders will function properly.
The storage temperature range of 30 C
to 80 C is valid when the unit remains in
its packaging. The storage temperature
for the RPN 886 may not exceed -10 C to
+50 C.
Protection against contact
After encoder installation, all rotating parts
(coupling on ROD, locking ring on RCN,
RON and RPN) must be protected against
accidental contact during operation.
Acceleration
Angle encoders are subject to various
types of acceleration during operation and
mounting.
The permissible angular acceleration
for all RCN, RON, RPN and ROD angle
encoders is over 105 rad/s2.
The indicated maximum values for
vibration are valid according to
IEC 606 8- 2- 6.
The maximum permissible acceleration
values (semi-sinusoidal shock) for shock
and impact are valid for 6 ms (IEC
60068-2-27). Under no circumstances
should a hammer or similar implement
be used to adjust or position the
encoder.
Natural frequency fN of coupling

The rotor and shaft coupling of the ROD
angle encoders, as well as the stator and
stator coupling of the RCN, RON and RPN
angle encoders, form a single vibrating
spring-mass system.
The natural frequency fN should be as
high as possible. For RCN, RON and RPN
angle encoders, the frequency ranges
given in the respective specifications are
those where the natural frequencies of the
encoders do not cause any significant
position deviations in the measuring
direction. A prerequisite for the highest
possible natural frequency on ROD angle
encoders is the use of a shaft coupling
with a high torsional rigidity C.
fN = 1
2
C
I
fN: Natural frequency in Hz

C: Torsional rigidity of the coupling in
Nm/rad
I: Moment of inertia of the rotor in kgm2
If radial and/or axial acceleration occurs
during operation, the effect of the rigidity
of the encoder bearing, the encoder
stator and the coupling are also significant.
If such loads occur in your application,
HEIDENHAIN recommends consulting
with the main facility in Traunreut.
Parts subject to wear

HEIDENHAIN encoders contain
components that are subject to wear,
depending on the application and
manipulation. These include in particular
the following parts:
LED light source
Cables with frequent flexing
Additionally for encoders with integral
bearing:
Bearing
Shaft sealing rings for rotary and angular
encoders
Sealing lips for sealed linear encoders
System tests
Encoders from HEIDENHAIN are usually
integrated as components in larger
systems. Such applications require
comprehensive tests of the entire
system regardless of the specifications
of the encoder.
The specifications given in the brochure
apply to the specific encoder, not to the
complete system. Any operation of the
encoder outside of the specified range
or for any other than the intended
applications is at the users own risk.
In safety-oriented systems, the higher-level
system must verify the position value of
the encoder after switch-on.
Mounting
Work steps to be performed and
dimensions to be maintained during
mounting are specified solely in the
mounting instructions supplied with the
unit. All data in this catalog regarding
mounting are therefore provisional and
not binding; they do not become terms
of a contract.

Interfaces
Incremental Signals 1 VPP
HEIDENHAIN encoders with 1-VPP

interface provide voltage signals that can
be highly interpolated.
The sinusoidal incremental signals A and
B are phase-shifted by 90 elec. and have
an amplitude of typically 1 VPP. The
illustrated sequence of output signals
with B lagging Aapplies to the direction
of motion shown in the dimension
drawing.
The reference mark signal R has a usable
component G of approx. 0.5 V. Next to the
reference mark, the output signal can be
reduced by up to 1.7 V to a quiescent value
H. This must not cause the subsequent
electronics to overdrive. Even at the
lowered signal level, signal peaks with the
amplitude G can also appear.
The data on signal amplitude apply when
the power supply given in the
specifications is connected to the encoder.
They refer to a differential measurement at
the 120-ohm terminating resistor between
the associated outputs. The signal
amplitude decreases with increasing
frequency. The cutoff frequency indicates
the scanning frequency at which a certain
percentage of the original signal amplitude
is maintained:
3 dB 70 % of the signal amplitude
6 dB 50 % of the signal amplitude

Interpolation/resolution/measuring step
The output signals of the 1 VPP interface
are usually interpolated in the subsequent
electronics in order to attain sufficiently
high resolutions. For velocity control,
interpolation factors are commonly over
1000 in order to receive usable velocity
information even at low speeds.
Short-circuit stability
A temporary short circuit of one signal
output to 0 V or UP (except encoders with
UPmin = 3.6 V) does not cause encoder
failure, but it is not a permissible operating

The incremental signals are transmitted

The fault-detection signal indicates

The distance between two successive

Ua2 through 1-fold, 2-fold or 4-fold
evaluation is one measuring step.
The subsequent electronics must be
designed to detect each edge of the
square-wave pulse. The minimum edge
separation a listed in the Specifications
applies to the illustrated input circuitry with
a cable length of 1 m, and refers to a
measurement at the output of the
differential line receiver. Cable-dependent
differences in the propagation times
additionally reduce the edge separation by
0.2 ns per meter of cable. To prevent
counting errors, design the subsequent
electronics to process as little as 90% of
the resulting edge separation.
The max. permissible shaft speed or

Because large cable lengths and high clock

then compensated. With this propagationdelay compensation in the subsequent
electronics, clock frequencies up to
16 MHz at cable lengths up to a maximum

The EnDat interface is a digital,

bidirectional interface for encoders. It is
capable of transmitting position values
from both absolute andwith EnDat 2.2
incremental encoders, as well as reading
and updating information stored in the
encoder, or of saving new information.
Thanks to the serial transmission
method, only four signal lines are
required. The data is transmitted in
synchronism with the CLOCK signal from
the subsequent electronics. The type of
transmission (position values, parameters,
diagnostics, etc.) is selected by mode
commands that the subsequent
electronics send to the encoder.

Versions
Functions
The extended EnDat interface version 2.2

is compatible in its communication,
command set and time conditions with
version 2.1, but also offers significant
advantages. It makes it possible, for
example, to transfer additional information
with the position value without sending a
separate request for it. The interface
protocol was expanded and the time
conditions (clock frequency, processing
time, recovery time) were optimized.
The EnDat interface transmits absolute

position values or additional physical
quantities (only EnDat 2.2) in an
unambiguous time sequence and serves to
read from and write to the encoders
internal memory. Some functions are
available only with EnDat 2.2 mode
commands.
Ordering designation
Indicated on the ID label and can be read
out via parameter.
Command set
The command set is the sum of all
available mode commands. (See Selecting
the transmission type). The EnDat 2.2
command set includes EnDat 2.1 mode
commands. When a mode command from
the EnDat 2.2 command set is transmitted
to EnDat-01 subsequent electronics, the
encoder or the subsequent electronics
may generate an error message.
Incremental signals
EnDat 2.1 and EnDat 2.2 are both available
with or without incremental signals.
EnDat 2.2 encoders feature a high internal
resolution. Therefore, depending on the
control technology being used,
interrogation of the incremental signals is
not necessary. To increase the resolution of
EnDat 2.1 encoders, the incremental
signals are interpolated and evaluated in
the subsequent electronics.
Position values can be transmitted with or

without additional information. The
additional information types are selectable
via the Memory Range Select (MRS) code.
Other functions such as Read parameter
and Write parameter can also be called
after the memory area and address have
been selected. Through simultaneous
transmission with the position value,
additional information can also be
requested of axes in the feedback loop,
and functions executed with them.
Parameter reading and writing is possible
both as a separate function and in
connection with the position value.
Parameters can be read or written after the
memory area and address is selected.
Reset functions serve to reset the
encoder in case of malfunction. Reset is
possible instead of or during position value
transmission.
Servicing diagnostics make it possible to
inspect the position value even at a
standstill. A test command has the
encoder transmit the required test values.

EnDat 02 and EnDat 22 have an extended

EnDat 2.2
Transmitted data are identified as either

position values, position values with
additional information, or parameters. The
type of information to be transmitted is
selected by mode commands. Mode
commands define the content of the
transmitted information. Every mode
command consists of three bits. To ensure
reliable transmission, every bit is
transmitted redundantly (inverted or
double). The EnDat 2.2 interface can also
transfer parameter values in the additional
information together with the position
value. This makes the current position
values constantly available for the control
loop, even during a parameter request.
EnDat 2.1
Selecting the Transmission Type
1)
Control cycles for transfer of position

values
The transmission cycle begins with the
first falling clock edge. The measured
values are saved and the position value is
calculated. After two clock pulses (2T), to
select the type of transmission, the
subsequent electronics transmit the mode
command Encoder transmit position
value (with/without additional information).
The subsequent electronics continue to
transmit clock pulses and observe the data
line to detect the start bit. The start bit
starts data transmission from the encoder
to the subsequent electronics. Time tcal is
the smallest time duration after which the
position value can be read by the encoder.
The subsequent error messages, error 1
and error 2 (only with EnDat 2.2
commands), are group signals for all
monitored functions and serve as failure
monitors.
Beginning with the LSB, the encoder then
transmits the absolute position value as a
complete data word. Its length varies
depending on which encoder is being
used. The number of required clock pulses
for transmission of a position value is saved
in the parameters of the encoder
manufacturer. The data transmission of
the position value is completed with the
Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC).
In EnDat 2.2, this is followed by additional
information 1 and 2, each also concluded
with a CRC. With the end of the data word,
the clock must be set to HIGH. After 10 to
30 s or 1.25 to 3.75 s (with EnDat 2.2
parameterizable recovery time tm) the data
line falls back to LOW. Then a new data
transmission can begin by starting the
clock.
48

Selected additional information is also transmitted
3)
Reserved for encoders that do not support the safety system
2)
The time absolute linear encoders need for

calculating the position values tcal differs
depending on whether EnDat 2.1 or
EnDat 2.2 mode commands are
transmitted (see Specifications in the
brochure:Linear Encoders for Numerically
Controlled Machine Tools). If the
incremental signals are evaluated for axis
control, then the EnDat 2.1 mode
commands should be used. Only in this
manner can an active error message be
transmitted synchronously with the
currently requested position value.
EnDat 2.1 mode commands should not be
used for purely serial position value transfer
for axis control.

respective encoder is saved in the encoder
parameters.
The content of the additional information is

EnDat 2.1 Transmission of

EnDat 2.1 can transmit position values with

interrupted clock pulse (as in EnDat 2.2) or
continuous clock pulse.
Interrupted clock
The interrupted clock is intended
particularly for time-clocked systems such
as closed control loops. At the end of the
data word the clock signal is set to HIGH
level. After 10 to 30 s (tm), the data line
falls back to LOW. A new data transmission
can then begin when started by the clock.

Synchronization of the serially

transmitted code value with the
incremental signal
Absolute encoders with EnDat interface
can exactly synchronize serially transmitted
absolute position values with incremental
values. With the first falling edge (latch
signal) of the CLOCK signal from the
subsequent electronics, the scanning
signals of the individual tracks in the
encoder and counter are frozen, as are the
A/D converters for subdividing the
sinusoidal incremental signals in the
subsequent electronics.
The code value transmitted over the serial
interface unambiguously identifies one
incremental signal period. The position
value is absolute within one sinusoidal
period of the incremental signal. The
subdivided incremental signal can
therefore be appended in the subsequent
electronics to the serially transmitted code
value.

Continuous clock
For applications that require fast acquisition
of the measured value, the EnDat interface
can have the clock run continuously.
Immediately after the last CRC bit has
been sent, the data line is switched to
HIGH for one clock cycle, and then to
LOW. The new position value is saved with
the very next falling edge of the clock and
is output in synchronism with the clock
signal immediately after the start bit and
alarm bit. Because the mode command
Encoder transmit position value is needed
only before the first data transmission, the
continuous-clock transfer mode reduces

interface
After power on and initial transmission of

position values, two redundant position
values are available in the subsequent
electronics. Since encoders with EnDat
interface guarantee a precise
synchronizationregardless of cable
lengthof the serially transmitted code
value with the incremental signals, the two
values can be compared in the subsequent

electronics. This monitoring is possible
even at high shaft speeds thanks to the
EnDat interfaces short transmission times
of less than 50 s. This capability is a
prerequisite for modern machine design
and safety systems.
Parameters of the OEM

In this freely definable memory area, the
OEM can store his information, e.g. the
electronic ID label of the motor in which
the encoder is integrated, indicating the
motor model, maximum current rating, etc.
Parameters and Memory Areas

The encoder provides several memory
areas for parameters. These can be read
from by the subsequent electronics, and
some can be written to by the encoder
manufacturer, the OEM, or even the end
user. Certain memory areas can be writeprotected.
The parameters, which in most cases
are set by the OEM, largely define the
function of the encoder and the EnDat
interface. When the encoder is exchanged,
it is therefore essential that its parameter
settings are correct. Attempts to configure
machines without including OEM data can
result in malfunctions. If there is any doubt
as to the correct parameter settings, the
OEM should be consulted.
Parameters of the encoder manufacturer
This write-protected memory area contains
all information specific to the encoder,
such as encoder type (linear/angular,
singleturn/multiturn, etc.), signal periods,
position values per revolution, transmission
format of position values, direction of
rotation, maximum speed, accuracy
dependent on shaft speeds, warnings and
alarms, ID number and serial number. This
information forms the basis for automatic
configuration. A separate memory area
contains the parameters typical for
EnDat 2.2: Status of additional information,
temperature, acceleration, support of
diagnostic and error messages, etc.
Operating parameters
This area is available for a datum shift, the
configuration of diagnostics and for
instructions. It can be protected against
overwriting.
Operating status
This memory area provides detailed alarms
or warnings for diagnostic purposes. Here
it is also possible to initialize certain encoder
functions, activate write protection for the
OEM parameters and operating parameters
memory areas, and to interrogate their
status. Once activated, the write
protection cannot be reversed.

Operating
status
The EnDat interface enables

comprehensive monitoring of the
encoder without requiring an additional
transmission line. The alarms and warnings
supported by the respective encoder are
saved in the parameters of the encoder
manufacturer memory area.
Error message
An error message becomes active if a
malfunction of the encoder might result
in incorrect position values. The exact
cause of the disturbance is saved in the
encoders operating status memory.
Interrogation via the Operating status
error sources additional information is also
possible. Here the EnDat interface
transmits the error bitserror 1 and error 2
(only with EnDat 2.2 commands). These are
group signals for all monitored functions
and serve for failure monitoring. The two
error messages are generated
independently of each other.
Warning
This collective bit is transmitted in the
status data of the additional information. It
indicates that certain tolerance limits of
the encoder have been reached or
exceededsuch as shaft speed or the limit
of light source intensity compensation
through voltage regulationwithout
implying that the measured position values
are incorrect. This function makes it
possible to issue preventive warnings in
order to minimize idle time.

Monitoring and Diagnostic

Functions
*) Depending on
encoder
Online diagnostics
Encoders with purely serial interfaces do
not provide incremental signals for
evaluation of encoder function. EnDat 2.2
encoders can therefore cyclically transmit
so-called valuation numbers from the
encoder. The valuation numbers provide
the current state of the encoder and
ascertain the encoders functional
reserves. The identical scale for all
HEIDENHAIN encoders allows uniform
valuation. This makes it easier to plan
machine use and servicing.
Cyclic Redundancy Check
To ensure reliability of data transfer, a
cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is
performed through the logical processing
of the individual bit values of a data word.
This 5-bit long CRC concludes every
transmission. The CRC is decoded in the
receiver electronics and compared with the
data word. This largely eliminates errors
caused by disturbances during data
transfer.

General Electrical Information
Power supply
Cables
The encoders require a stabilized dc

voltage UP as power supply. The required
power supply and the current consumption
are given in the respective Specifications.
The permissible ripple content of the dc
voltage is:
High frequency interference
UPP < 250 mV with dU/dt > 5 V/s
Low frequency fundamental ripple
UPP < 100 mV
The values apply as measured at the
encoder, i.e., without cable influences. The
voltage can be monitored and adjusted
with the encoders sensor lines. If a
controllable power supply is not available,
the voltage drop can be halved by
switching the sensor lines parallel to the
corresponding power lines.

Switch-on/off behavior of the encoders

The output signals are valid no sooner than
after switch-on time tSOT = 1.3 s (2 s for
PROFIBUS-DP) (see diagram). During time
tSOT they can have any levels up to 5.5 V
(with HTL encoders up to UPmax). If an
interpolation electronics unit is inserted
between the encoder and the power supply,
the units switch-on/off characteristics must
also be considered. If the power supply is
switched off, or when the supply voltage
falls below Umin, the output signals are also
invalid. These data apply to the encoders
listed in the catalogcustomer-specific
interfaces are not considered.
HEIDENHAIN cables are mandatory for

safety-related applications.
The cable lengths listed in the
Specifications apply only toHEIDENHAIN
cables and the recommended input
circuitry of the subsequent electronics.
Durability
All encoders have polyurethane (PUR)
cables. PUR cables are resistant to oil,
hydrolysis and microbes in accordance
with VDE 0472. They are free of PVC and
silicone and comply with UL safety
directives. The UL certification AWM STY
LE 20963 80 C 30 V E63216 is
documented on the cable.
Encoders with new features and increased

performance range may take longer to
switch on (longer time tSOT). If you are
responsible for developing subsequent
electronics, please contact HEIDENHAIN
in good time.

Electrically permissible speed/

traversing speed
The maximum permissible shaft speed or
traversing speed of an encoder is derived
from
the mechanically permissible shaft
speed / traversing velocity (if listed in
Specifications)
and
the electrically permissible shaft speed /
traversing velocity.
For encoders with sinusoidal output
signals, the electrically permissible shaft
speed / traversing velocity is limited by
the 3dB/6dB cutoff frequency or the
permissible input frequency of the
subsequent electronics.
For encoders with square-wave signals,
the electrically permissible shaft speed /
traversing velocity is limited by
the maximum permissible scanning/
output frequency fmax of the encoder
and
the minimum permissible edge
separation a of the subsequent
fmax
electronics.

When properly installed, and when
HEIDENHAIN connecting cables and cable

Transmission of measuring signals
electrical noise immunity
Noise voltages arise mainly through
capacitive or inductive transfer. Electrical
noise can be introduced into the system
over signal lines and input or output
terminals.
Possible sources of noise are:
Strong magnetic fields from
transformers, brakes and electric motors
Relays, contactors and solenoid valves
High-frequency equipment, pulse
devices, and stray magnetic fields from
switch-mode power supplies
AC power lines and supply lines to the
above devices
Protection against electrical noise

The following measures must be taken to
ensure disturbance-free operation:
Use only HEIDENHAIN cables.
Use connectors or terminal boxes with
metal housings. Do not conduct any
extraneous signals.
Connect the housings of the encoder,
connector, terminal box and evaluation
electronics through the shield of the
cable. Connect the shielding in the area
of the cable outlets to be as inductionfree as possible (short, full-surface
contact).
Connect the entire shielding system with
the protective ground.
Prevent contact of loose connector
housings with other metal surfaces.
The cable shielding has the function
of an equipotential bonding conductor.
If compensating currents are to be
expected within the entire system, a
separate equipotential bonding conductor
must be provided. Also see
EN 50 178/4.98 Chapter 5.2.9.5 regarding
protective connection lines with small
cross section.
Do not lay signal cables in the direct
vicinity of interference sources (inductive
consumers such as contacts, motors,
frequency inverters, solenoids, etc.).
Sufficient decoupling from interferencesignal-conducting cables can usually be
achieved by an air clearance of 100 mm
or, when cables are in metal ducts, by a
grounded partition.
A minimum spacing of 200 mm to
inductors in switch-mode power supplies
is required. See also EN 50 178/4.98,
Chapter 5.3.1.1, regarding cables and
lines, as well as EN 50 174-2/09.01,
Chapter 6.7, regarding grounding and
potential compensation.
When using rotary encoders in
electromagnetic fields greater than
30 mT, HEIDENHAIN recommends
consulting with the main facility in
Traunreut.
Both the cable shielding and the metal
housings of encoders and subsequent
electronics have a shielding function. The
housings must have the same potential
and be connected to the main signal ground
over the machine chassis or by means of a
separate potential compensating line.
Potential compensating lines should have a
minimum cross section of 6 mm2 (Cu).

maximum value storage, measurement
series storage. It calculates the mean value
and standard deviations and creates
histograms or control charts. The ND 287
permits optional connection of a second
encoder for sum/difference measurement
