Modular Magnetic
Encoders
September 2010
The ERM modular encoders from

HEIDENHAIN consist of a magnetized
scale drum and a scanning unit with
magnetoresistive sensor. Their
MAGNODUR measuring standard and the
magnetoresistive scanning principle make
them particularly tolerant to contamination.
Typical applications include machines and
equipment with large hollow shaft
diameters in environments with large
amounts of airborne particles and liquids,
for example on the spindles of lathes or
milling machines, for reduced accuracy
requirements.

Range of Applications
The robust ERM modular magnetic

encoders are especially suited for use in
production machines. Their large inside
diameters offered, their small dimensions
and the compact design of the scanning
head predestine them for:
The C axis of lathes
Spindle orientation on milling machines
Auxiliary axes
Integration in gear stages
Speed measurement on direct drives
The signal periods of approx. 400 m or
1 000 and the special MAGNODUR
procedure for applying the grating achieve
the accuracy values and shaft speeds
required by these applications.
Accuracy
The typical application for ERM 200
encoders is on the C axis of lathes,
especially for the machining of bar-stock
material. Here the graduation of the ERM
modular encoder is usually on a diameter
that is approximately twice as large as the
workpiece to be machined. The accuracy
and reproducibility of the ERM also achieve
sufficient workpiece accuracy values for
milling operations with lathes (classical
C-axis machining).
Example:
Accuracy of a workpiece from bar-stock
material, 100 mm;
ERM 280 encoder on C axis with
Accuracy: 12 with 2048 lines
Drum outside diameter: 257.50 mm
= tan12 x radius
= 2.9 m
Calculated position error: 2.9 m
Conclusion:
For bar-stock material with a diameter of
100 mm, the maximum position error that
can result from the encoder is less than
3 m. Eccentricity errors must also be
considered, but these can be reduced
through accurate mounting.
Spindle speeds
The ERM circumferential-scale drums can
operate at high shaft speeds. Ancillary
noises, such as from gear-tooth systems,
do not occur. The maximum shaft speeds
listed in the specifications suffice for most
applications.
Typical applications for the ERM 2400 and
ERM 2900 are fast spindles, particularly
main spindles with hollow shaft and
compact dimensions. The speed can reach
up to 42 000 min1.
Measuring Principle
Measuring standard
HEIDENHAIN encoders incorporate
measuring standards of periodic structures
known as graduations.
Magnetic encoders use a graduation carrier
of magnetizable steel alloy. A write head
applies strong local magnetic fields in
different directions to form a graduation
with 400 m or 1 000 m (with ERM 2984)
per signal period consisting of north poles
and south poles (MAGNODUR process).
Due to the short distance of effect of
electromagnetic interaction and the very
narrow scanning gaps required, finer
magnetic graduations have significantly
tighter mounting tolerances.
Magnetic Scanning
The permanently magnetic MAGNODUR
graduation is scanned by magnetoresistive
sensors. They consist of resistive tracks
whose resistance changes in response to a
magnetic field. When a voltage is applied
to the sensor and the scale drum moves
relative to the scanning head, the flowing
current is modulated according to the
magnetic field.
Incremental measuring method

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. The shaft speed is
determined through mathematical
derivation of the change in position over
time.
The special geometric arrangement of the

resistive sensors and the manufacture of
the sensors on glass substrates ensure a
high signal quality. In addition, the large
scanning surface allows the signals to be
filtered for harmonic waves. These are
prerequisites for minimizing position errors
within one signal period.
Since an absolute reference is required to

ascertain positions, the scale drums are
provided with an additional track that bears
a reference mark or multiple reference
marks. 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. On the
ERM 2410, the scale drum features
distance-coded reference marks. Here the
absolute reference is established by
scanning two neighboring reference marks
(see Angle for absolute reference in the
Specifications).
A structure on a separate track produces a

reference mark signal. This makes it
possible to assign this absolute position
value to exactly one measuring step.
Magnetoresistive scanning is used
primarily for comparatively low-accuracy
applications, or for applications where the
machined parts are relatively small
compared to the scale drum.

Measuring Accuracy
The accuracy of angular measurement is

mainly determined by:
The quality of the graduation
The quality of the scanning process
The quality of the signal processing
electronics
The eccentricity of the graduation to the
bearing
The error of the bearing
The coupling to the measured shaft
The system accuracy given in the
Specifications is defined as follows:
The system accuracy reflects position
errors within one revolution as well as
those within one signal period. The
extreme values of the total deviations of a
position are within the system accuracy
a.
For 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. These deviations are
not reflected in the system accuracy.
Position error within one revolution

becomes apparent in larger angular
motions.
Position deviations 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 deviations 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 period definition
of the graduation
The quality of scanning filter structures
The characteristics of the detectors
The stability and dynamics during the
further processing of the analog signals
with typical subdivision accuracy values of

better than 1 % of the signal period.
However, the 400 m or 1 000 m signal
periods of ERM modular magnetic
encoders are relatively large. Angle
encoders using the photoelectric scanning
principle are better suited for higher
accuracy requirements: Along with their
better system accuracy, they also feature
significantly smaller signal periods (typically
20 m), and therefore have
correspondingly smaller position errors
within one signal period.
HEIDENHAIN encoders take these factors

of influence into account, and permit
interpolation of the sinusoidal output signal

In addition to the system accuracy, the

mounting and adjustment of the scanning
head and of the scale drum normally have
a significant effect on the accuracy that can
be achieved with encoders without integral
bearings. Of particular importance are the
mounting eccentricity and radial runout of
the measured shaft.
In order to evaluate the total accuracy,
each of the significant errors must be
considered individually.
1. Directional deviations of the
graduation
The extreme values of the directional
deviation with respect to their mean value
are shown in the Specifications as the
graduation accuracy. The graduation
accuracy and the position error within a
signal period comprise the system
accuracy.
2. Errors due to eccentricity of the
graduation to the bearing
Under normal circumstances, the
graduation will have a certain eccentricity
relative to the bearing once the ERMs
scale drum is mounted. In addition,
dimensional and form deviations of the
shaft can result in added eccentricity.
The following relationship exists between

the eccentricity e, the graduation diameter
D and the measuring error (see
illustration below):

The equation for the measuring error is
also valid for radial deviation of the bearing
if the value e is replaced with the
eccentricity value, i.e. half of the radial
deviation (half of the displayed value).
Bearing compliance to radial shaft loading
causes similar errors.
4. Position error within one signal

The scanning units of all HEIDENHAIN
encoders are adjusted so that the
maximum position error values within one
signal period will not exceed the values
listed below, with no further electrical
adjusting required at mounting.

Mechanical Design Types and Mounting
Mounting
The ERM modular encoders consist of a
circumferential scale drum and the
corresponding scanning head. Special
design features assure comparatively fast
mounting and easy adjustment.
Versions
There are two different signal periods
available for the ERM modular magnetic
encoders (ERM 200, ERM 24x0:
ca. 400 m; ERM 2900: approx. 1 mm).
This results in differing line counts for
nearly identical outside diameters, making
it possible to use these encoders for very
different types of spindle applications.
The scale drum is available in three
versions. The TTR ERM 200 and TTR ERM
200 C scale drums are fastened with axial
screws. The insides of the TTR ERM 2404
and TTR ERM 2904 scale drums are
smooth. Only a friction-locked connection
(clamping of the drum) is to be used to
prevent them from rotating unintentionally.
The TTR ERM 2405 scale drums feature a
keyway. The feather key is only intended for
the prevention of unintentional rotation.
The transmission of torque via the feather
key is not permissible. A friction-locked

connection is to be used here, as with the
TTR ERM 2404 scale drum. The special
shape of the drums inside ensures stability
even at the maximum permissible speeds.
Mounting the TTR ERM 200 scale drum
The circumferential scale drum is slid onto
the drive shaft and fastened with screws.
The scale drum is centered via the
centering collar on its inner circumference.
HEIDENHAIN recommends using a slight
oversize on the shaft for mounting the
scale drum. Only then do the rotational
velocities listed in the Specifications apply.
For easier mounting, the scale drum may
be slowly warmed on a heating plate over
a period of approx. 10 minutes to a
temperature of at most 100 C. In order to
check the radial runout and assess the
resulting deviations, testing of the
rotational accuracy before mounting is
recommended.
Back-off threads are used for dismounting
the scale drums.
Mounting the TTR ERM 2x0x scale drum

The circumferential scale drum is slid onto
the drive shaft and clamped. The scale
drum is centered via the centering collar on
its inner circumference. In order to keep
the eccentricity of the graduation to the
bearing resulting from mounting to a
minimum, and the resulting deviations in
accuracy as well, the gap between the
shaft and centering collar should be as
small as possible. The clamping of the
scale drum depends on the mounting
situation. The clamping force must be
applied evenly over the plane surface of the
drum. The necessary mounting elements
depend on the design of the customers
equipment, and are therefore the
responsibility of the customer. The frictional
connection must be strong enough to
prevent unintentional rotation or skewing in
axial and radial directions, even at high
speeds and accelerations. The scale drum
may not be modified for this purpose, such
as by drilling holes or countersinks in it.
Mounting the scanning head
In order to mount the scanning head, the
spacer foil is applied to the surface of the
circumferential scale drum. The scanning
head is pressed against the foil and
fastened. The foil is then removed.

General Mechanical Information
Protection against contact

After encoder installation, all rotating parts
must be protected against accidental
contact during operation.
Acceleration
Encoders are subject to various types of
acceleration during operation and
mounting.
The indicated maximum values for
vibration are valid according to
EN 60 068-2-6.
The maximum permissible acceleration
values (semi-sinusoidal shock) for shock
and impact are valid for 6 ms
(EN 60 068-2-27).
Under no circumstances should a
hammer or similar implement be used to
adjust or position the encoder.
Temperature range
The operating temperature range
indicates the ambient temperature limits
between which the encoders will function
properly.
The storage temperature range from

30 C to +70 C is valid when the unit
remains in its packaging.
Rotational velocity
The maximum permissible shaft speeds
were determined according to FKM
guidelines. This guideline serves as
mathematical attestation of component
strength with regard to all relevant
influences and it reflects the latest state of
the art. The requirements for fatigue
strength (107 changes of load) were
considered in the calculation of the
permissible shaft speeds. Because
installation has significant influence, all
requirements and instructions in the
Specifications and mounting instructions
must be followed for the rotational velocity
data to be valid.
Expendable parts
HEIDENHAIN encoders contain components
that are subject to wear, depending on the
application and handling. These include in
particular moving cables. Pay attention to
the minimum permissible bending radii.
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.
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-related systems, the higherlevel system must verify the position
value of the encoder after switch-on.

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 for 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 level
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

These values can be used for dimensioning of the subsequent electronics. Any limited
tolerances in the encoders are listed in the specifications. For encoders without integral
bearing, reduced tolerances are recommended for initial operation (see the mounting
instructions).
Signal period
360 elec.
The data in the signal description apply to

motions at up to 20% of the 3 dB cutoff
frequency.
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
condition.

Square-wave signals TTL
Incremental signals
2 TTL square-wave signals Ua1, Ua2 and their inverted signals

,
The incremental signals are transmitted

as the square-wave pulse trains Ua1 and
Ua2, phase-shifted by 90 elec. The
reference mark signal consists of one or
more reference pulses Ua0, which are
gated with the incremental signals. In
addition, the integrated electronics produce
their inverted signals

noise-proof transmission. The illustrated
sequence of output signalswith Ua2

The fault-detection signal indicates

fault conditions such as breakage of the
power line or failure of the light source. It
can be used for such purposes as machine
shut-off during automated production.
The distance between two successive
edges of the incremental signals Ua1 and
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. Propagation-time
differences in cables additionally reduce
the edge separation by 0.2 ns per meter of
cable length. 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 traversing velocity must
never be exceeded.

The EnDat interface is a digital,

bidirectional interface for encoders. It is
capable both of transmitting position
values as well as transmitting or updating
information stored in the encoder, or 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 through mode
commands that the subsequent
electronics send to the encoder. Some
functions are available only with EnDat 2.2

General Electrical Information
Power supply
Connect HEIDENHAIN encoders only to
subsequent electronics whose power
supply is generated from PELV systems
(EN 50 178). In addition, overcurrent
protection and overvoltage protection are
required in safety-related applications.
If HEIDENHAIN encoders are to be
operated in accordance with IEC 61010-1,
power must be supplied from a secondary
circuit with current or power limitation as
per IEC 61010-1:2001, section 9.3 or
IEC 60950-1:2005, section 2.5 or a Class 2
secondary circuit as specified in UL1310.
The encoders require a stabilized DC
voltage UP as power supply. The respective
Specifications state the required power
supply and the current consumption. 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
If the voltage drop is known, all parameters

for the encoder and subsequent electronics
can be calculated, e.g. voltage at the
encoder, current requirements and power
consumption of the encoder, as well as the
power to be provided by the subsequent
electronics.
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,
this 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. During restart, the signal
level must remain below 1 V for the time

tSOT before power up. These data apply to
the encoders listed in the catalog
customer-specific interfaces are not
included.
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.
Isolation
The encoder housings are isolated against
internal circuits.
Rated surge voltage: 500 V
(preferred value as per VDE 0110 Part 1,
overvoltage category II, contamination
level 2)
Transient response of supply voltage and switch-on/switch-off behavior
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.
UPP
Calculation of the voltage drop:

U = 2 103
where
U: Voltage attenuation in V
1.05: Length factor due to twisted
wires
LC: Cable length in m
I:
Current consumption in mA
AP: Cross section of power lines in
mm2
The voltage actually applied to the encoder
is to be considered when calculating the
encoders power requirement. This
voltage consists of the supply voltage UP
provided by the subsequent electronics
minus the line drop at the encoder. For
encoders with an expanded supply range,
the voltage drop in the power lines must
be calculated under consideration of the
nonlinear current consumption (see next
page).

Encoders with expanded voltage

supply range
For encoders with expanded supply
voltage range, the current consumption
has a nonlinear relationship with the supply
voltage. On the other hand, the power
consumption follows a linear curve (see
Current and power consumption diagram).
The maximum power consumption at
minimum and maximum supply voltage is
listed in the Specifications. The power
consumption at maximum supply voltage
(worst case) accounts for:
Recommended receiver circuit
Cable length: 1 m
Age and temperature influences
Proper use of the encoder with respect
to clock frequency and cycle time
Step 1: Resistance of the supply lines

The resistance values of the power lines
(adapter cable and encoder cable) can be
calculated with the following formula:
Step 4: Parameters for subsequent

electronics and the encoder
Voltage at encoder:

Step 3: Voltage drop based on the

coefficients b and c
The typical current consumption at no load

(only supply voltage is connected) for 5 V
supply is specified.
U = 0.5 (b + b2 4 c)
The actual power consumption of the

encoder and the required power output of
the subsequent electronics are measured
while taking the voltage drop on the supply
lines in four steps:
Where:
UEmax,

voltage of the encoder in V

Electrically Permissible Speed/

Traversing Speed
The maximum permissible shaft speed or
traversing velocity of an encoder is derived
from
the mechanically permissible shaft
speed/traversing velocity (if listed in the
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
frequency fmax of the encoder
and
the minimum permissible edge
separation a for the subsequent
electronics.
For angular or rotary encoders

Cable
For safety-related applications, use
HEIDENHAIN cables and connectors.
Versions
The cables of almost all HEIDENHAIN
encoders and all adapter and connecting
cables are sheathed in polyurethane (PUR
cable). Most adapter cables for within
motors and a few cables on encoders are
sheathed in a special elastomer (EPG
cable). These cables are identified in the
specifications or in the cable tables with
EPG.
Durability
PUR cables are resistant to oil and
hydrolysis in accordance with VDE 0472
(Part 803/test type B) and resistant to
microbes in accordance with VDE 0282
(Part 10). They are free of PVC and silicone
and comply with UL safety directives. The
UL certification AWM STYLE 20963 80 C
30 V E63216 is documented on the cable.
EPG cables are resistant to oil in accordance
with VDE 0472 (Part 803/test type B) and
to hydrolysis in accordance with VDE 0282
(Part 10). They are free of silicone and
halogens. In comparison with PUR cables,
they are only conditionally resistant to
media, frequent flexing and continuous
torsion.

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 include:
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 original HEIDENHAIN cables.
Consider the voltage attenuation on
supply lines.
Use connecting elements (such as
connectors or terminal boxes) with metal
housings. Only the signals and power
supply of the connected encoder may be
routed through these elements. Applications in which additional signals are
sent through the connecting element
require specific measures regarding
electrical safety and EMC.
Connect the housings of the encoder,

connecting elements and subsequent
electronics through the shield of the
cable. Ensure that the shield has
complete contact over the entire surface
(360). For encoders with more than one
electrical connection, refer to the
documentation for the respective
product.
For cables with multiple shields, the
inner shields must be routed separately
from the outer shield. Connect the inner
shield to 0 V of the subsequent
electronics. Do not connect the inner
shields with the outer shield, neither in
the encoder nor in the cable.
Connect the shield to protective ground
as per the mounting instructions.
Prevent contact of the shield (e.g.
connector housing) with other metal
surfaces. Pay attention to this when
installing cables.
Do not install signal cables in the direct
vicinity of interference sources (inductive
consumers such as contacts, motors,
frequency inverters, solenoids, etc.).
Sufficient decoupling from
interference-signal-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.
If compensating currents are to be
expected within the overall system, a
separate equipotential bonding
conductor must be provided. The shield
does not have the function of an
equipotential bonding conductor.
Only provide power from PELV systems
(EN 50 178) to position encoders.
Provide high-frequency grounding with
low impedance (EN 60 204-1
Chap. EMC).
For encoders with 11-APP interface: For
extension cables, use only HEIDENHAIN
cable ID 244 955-01. Overall length:
max. 30 m.
Minimum distance from sources of interference
