1.2. SPA description and explanation
Mounting the spindle position display (SPA) is by docking the hollow shaft to the end of the spindle shaft. The
hollow shaft is fixed by hexagon screw to the spindle shaft and secured by power grip.
This way, the SPA is mounted over-hung and secured against torsion at rear of the housing by the attached
spreader pin. The spindle position display features an absolute multiturn sensing system allowing to capture the
position after several turns of the spindle even in powerless status. The position data will be retained even in
case of power failure (min. 10 years).
The current position value is displayed in the two-line backlit LCD display (2x 6 digits, numeric). Simultaneously,
in the same display the target transmitted by the control (master) is indicated. Two arrows show the editing
engineer the direction the spindle is to be turned in order to align the current value with the target. As soon as
the current value equals the target and is within the allowable tolerance, the target will disappear. The SPAs are
networked by 30 cm cable providing male and mating connector.

Handshake: No
Redundancy check: Yes (CRC)
Timeout reply*: 0,1...60 ms

3.2. Protocol
The spindle position display operates with ASCII protocol (clear text protocol). Depending on the command, the
protocol data package varies between 5 and 17 bytes.
Byte Hex-Code Significance Parameters
1 01H SOH = start of heading permanent 01h
2 XXh Adr = address/identifier 00 ... 31dez + 20h Offset (identifier 00 = 20h)
3 XXh Cmd = command code Defined commands
4-n [XXh..XXh] [Data] = data 20h-7Fh
n+1 04h EOT = end of transmission Permanent 04h
n+2 XXh CRC = redundancy check 00h ... FFh
3.3. Redundancy check (CRC byte)
For optimized error-free data transmission the CRC byte is added after the footer token (EOT, end of
transmission) to the string to be transferred. Upon receiving a command the CRC byte transmitted is
crosschecked with the auto-calculated CRC byte.
Algorithm:
1) Reset CRC byte.
2) Rotate CRC byte by 1 bit to the left.
3) Link result to first data byte XOR.
4) Rotate result by 1 bit to the left.
5) Link result to the second data byte XOR.
:
x) Rotate result by 1 bit to the left.
y) Link result to the last data byte (ever 04H) XOR.
z) Add result as CRC after the footer token (04H) to the transmitted string.
Note:
Example:
String less CRC = 01h 20h 43h 04h
CRC-Byte = 0Ah
0000 0000 RL 0000 0000 XOR 0000 0001 (01h) = 0000 0001
0000 0001 RL 0000 0010 XOR 0010 0000 (20h) = 0010 0010
0010 0010 RL 0100 0100 XOR 0100 0011 (43h) = 0000 0111
0000 0111 RL 0000 1110 XOR 0000 0100 (04h) =
Legend: RL = rotate left; XOR = antivalence link
1101 0000 RL 1010 0001 Important: Bit 7 is shifted in bit 0 during rotation
* To avoid bus collisions a minimum timeout reply of 1 ms (default parameter)
is to be kept, i.e. the time elapsed between transmitting the last bit of the
query until start transmitting the 1st bit of the SPA response.
The operator should see that due to the minimized timeout reply of 1 ms
the bus switching time after having transmitted the last bit must not exceed
1 ms.
The default parameter of 1 ms can optionally be altered by serial interface
in steps of 0,1 ms within the range of 0,1 ... 60 ms.
Refer to command „x“ (78h).
** The BUS switching time is the time the SPA requires to be ready again for
reception after having replied to the host

3.4. Broadcast commands
Some specific commands are defined as so-called broadcast commands. As soon as the master broadcasts a
command to identifier 99, the command is addressed to every SPA in the network. Each individual spindle
position display will accomplish the respective command but will not respond any confirmation to master.
3.5. Data saving
Specific parameters are saved in EEPROM (1.000.000 writing cycles). Data saving is via interface upon every
parameter transmission to SPA.
Important:
These parameters should not be transmitted to SPA cyclic but only if necessary, for example in case of
parameter alteration. The relevant parameters that are saved in EEPROM are listed in the charts in chapter
“Command explanations” or “Overview on commands”.
4. Command explanations
4.1. General information
The following is describing the individual interface commands broken down into the four groups below:
- operating commands [ commands required during operation ]
- parameter commands [ commands for SPA parameterization ]
- identifier commands [ commands to indicate or alter the device identifier (address)]
- specific commands [ commands for specific functions as device reset or version number readout]
The following abbreviations are applied:
SOH = Start of heading (header token)
EOT = End of transmission (footer token)
Adr = Device address, including offset 20h
Cmd = Command

4.2.1. Check Position, command „C“ (43h)
This command provides the alignment status of target versus current value. If the current value is within the
target tolerance window, the response will be „o“ (6Fh) for OK together with the current profile number. If the
current value is outside the tolerances, „x“ (78H) followed by the current profile number will be replied.
Example: (active profile number = 05)

Command extension Check Position „CX“
The command extension „Check Position CX “provides besides the alignment status target versus current value
also the contents of the status and error register as well as the current value. The profile number is not
transmitted.
Note: N140 spindle positioning display does not provide any status or error register. For reasons of
compatibility to other multicon equipment here permanent parameter 80h is transmitted, i.e. the 4 data bytes are
not significant.

Direct positioning „SD“
This command may be utilized for direct positioning operations with direct programming of a position value.
Only the target less any profile number is transmitted to SPA. The profile number after the command “S” is
replaced by sub command “D” (0 = dimension). Any previously programmed profiles are not overwritten.

4.2.6. Align current value with preset, command „Z“ (5Ah)
The Z command is for setting the current value to any optional position. The required position value is
transmitted to the SPA. The SPA will calculate a so-called “preset offset” -value relating to the true absolute
sensor position. When calculating the preset offset any programmed offset transmitted by command “U” will be
considered, so that after having accomplished the “Z” command the current value always equals the preset.
The current value displayed is composed as follows:
Current value
Current value
Current value
current value displayed and read out by interface
Anz
internal absolute current value.
Abs
Preset offset Offset generated by command „Z“.
Offset Additional offset defined by command „U“. This function however must be enabled in

4.2.7. Readout any optional number sequence in the upper line of display,
command „t“ (74h)
This command is to indicate a 6-digit number sequence in the upper line of the display. The sequence is
indicated without dot respectively comma. Preceding zeroes as well as both direction arrows are suppressed.
The bottom line still indicates the current value.
The number is shown on the display until any command except „t“, „u“ or „R“ is received by interface. The
number will be retained after power failure.
Example: (number sequence = 654321)

The command is for indicating a 6-digit number in the bottom line of the display. The number is indicated
without dot respectively comma. Preceding zeroes as well as both direction arrows are suppressed. The upper
line still indicates the current target or tool number.
The number sequence is displayed until any optional command except „t“, „u“ or „R“ is received by the interface.
The number will be retained after power failure.
Example: (number sequence = 123456)

4.3.5. Read and write specific parameter „x“ (78h)
The specific parameter „x“ comprises several sub-parameters enabling alteration of originally permanent
parameters to adapt them to new circumstances. At present, the following sub-parameter is available:
D (44h) = minimized delay time of serial interface
Sub parameter: Delay time „D“ (44h)
This parameter defines the minimum delay time (timeout) between the last bit received and the first bit of the
response transmitted. Delay time is in steps of 0.1 ms within the range from 00.0...60.0 ms. Default is 1.0 ms.
Example 1: Read current delay time

Please note that the true delay time might be extended. It depends on the required processing time as well as
on internal software cycles. The tolerance is approx. 8 ms.

A (41h) 2 X X X X Assign or indicate device identifier
B (42h) 2 - - - - SPA confirmation in addressing mode
4.4.1. Assigning device identifiers in the network, command „A“ (41h)
This command is creating an automated process where the device identifier is assigned in successive order to
every single SPA upon commissioning of the system. The first identifier to be assigned is broadcasted to all
networked SPAs as follows:
Transmission
SOH Adr Cmd identifier=01 EOT CRC
01h 83h 41h
30h 31h
04h B4h
All SPAs now show the identifier just transmitted and that is to be assigned in the upper line of the display. The
bottom line indicates the device-specific identifier. To enter the new identifier, the shaft of the respective SPA
has to be turned by half at least (direction does not matter). The identifier is now entered and appears in the
bottom line of the display (as device-specific identifier). Both identifiers are now identical. As soon as the shaft is
in idle position again and after having elapsed 3 seconds, the SPA will transmit to master the following
confirmatory command „B“ (42h):
Transmission
To Master
SOH Adr Cmd identifier=01 EOT CRC
01h 21h 42h
30h 31h
04h 86h
The Master may now transmits command „A“ with the next identifier to be assigned as previously described.
This way, the respective (successive) identifiers are automatically assigned to all networked SPAs, one after the
other.
Important: The confirmatory command „B“ transmitted by N 140 to master will be repeated after 3 seconds
provided the master has not previously transmitted another „A“ command.
4.4.2. Show identifier in the display, command „A“ (41h)
This command less parameters as a broadcast command (address/Identifier=99) will make every networked N
140 indicate the device-specific identifier in the bottom line of the display. The upper line is blind.
This command is a designated broadcast command.

The SPA remains in this mode until being switched off and on again or until transmission of another command.
4.4.3. Extended identifier command „AX“ (41h,58h)
This extended command is utilized for addressing individual multicon devices in the bus network in a similar
way as described above. By broadcast command the identifier to be assigned is transmitted to all networked
devices as follows:
Transmission
Response Not confirmed
Similar to the standard command all devices now show the identifier just transmitted and that is to be assigned
in the upper line. To enter the identifier proceed the same way. However contrary to the above no confirmatory
command „B“ will be replied. It is up to master to check whether the new identifier has been accepted, for
example by command “R” (read current value). The R-command is transmitted under the corresponding
identifier to the position display. If the addressed SPA is responding the assignment was successful and the
master can proceed with next identifier. Regarding other commands the display of the respective device
switches to standard operation.
