Position Encoders and Reference Marks
The ND 231 B display unit is intended for use with photoelectrical linear encoders with sinusoidal signals: primarily
for HEIDENHAIN MT length gauges with 11 µA
PP
.
These length gauges have one reference mark. The scales of
other photoelectric linear encoders (see “Linear Encoders”) can
contain one reference mark or several
distance-coded
ence marks.
If there is an interruption of power, the relationship between the
position of the length gauge and the displayed position value is
lost. The reference marks on the position encoders and the REF
reference mark evaluation feature enable the display unit to
quickly reestablish this relationship again when the power is
restored.
When a reference mark is crossed over, a signal is generated
which identifies that position as a reference point. At the same
time, the display unit restores the relationship between length
Position Encoders and Reference Marks
gauge position and display values which you last defined by
setting the datum.
If the linear encoders have distance-coded reference marks,
you need only traverse a maximum of 20 mm to restore the
datum (for a signal period of 20 µm).

Crossing over the reference marks automatically switches the
display to REF mode: The last assignment of display values to
length gauge positions is stored in nonvolatile memory.

Press the CL key if you choose not to cross over the

between length gauge position and display value will be lost if
the power is interrupted or if the unit is switched off.

Datum Setting
The datum setting procedure assigns a display value to a
known position. With the ND 200 series, you can set two
separate datum points.
There are several ways to set the datum:
• Enter a numerical value, or
• Transfer a value from an operating parameter
Datum Setting
(see P79, P80), or
• By external signal
Select datum 1 or 2.
Enter numerical value (here, 5).
5
Confirm the e nt ere d numerical value.
You can switch between datums 1 and 2 as desired. Datum 2
can be used, for example, for working with incremental dimensions.
When you switch back to datum 1, the display unit resumes
display of the MT's actual position.

Sorting and Tolerance Checking
In the sorting and tolerance checking mode, the display unit
compares the displayed value with the programmed upper and
lower sorting limits. The sorting and tolerance checking mode is
enabled and disabled with operating parameter P17.
Entering sorting limits
Sorting limits are entered in operating parameters P18 and P19
(see “Operating Parameters”).
Sorting signals
The display indicators and switching outputs at D-sub
connection EXT (X41, see applicable section) sort the display
value into one of three classes.
DisplayMeaning
=Measured value is within sorting limits
<Measured value is smaller than lower sorting limit
>Measured value is greater than upper sorting limit

Measured Value Output
For technical information on the RS-232-C/V.24 data
interface (X31), information on the data format, etc.,
see the chapter “RS-232-C/V.24 Interface (X31).”
Measured values can be transferred over the RS-232-C/V.24
interface (X31), for example to a printer or PC.
There are several ways to start measured value output:
ä
Press the MOD key (note the parameter setting P86).
or
ä
Measured Value Output
Input the command STX (Ctrl B) over the RXD input of the

Display Freeze
With the latch command, the display can be stopped for any
period of time. The internal counter remains active. Parameter
P23 selects the “display freeze” mode and offers three
settings:
• Concurrent display, no display freeze — the display value
is the current measured value.
• Frozen display—display value is frozen and is updated with
each signal for measured value output.
• Frozen/concurrent display—display remains frozen as
long as the latch signal is present; after the signal, the
display resumes continuous display of the current measured values.

Mounting
You can fasten the ND 231 B from below by using M4 screws
(see illustration at right).
Mounting
ND 231 B display units are stackable. Adhesive plug-in feet
(supplied with your unit) prevent the stacked units from being
moved out of place.

Alternatives of stacking the display units
Power Connection
The rear panel of the ND 231 B contains a connecting jack for
a power cord with Euro connector (power cord included in
items supplied).
Minimum cross section of the power cord: 0.75 mm
Power supply: 100 Vac to 240 Vac (–15% to +10%)
50 Hz to 60 Hz (±2 Hz)
A voltage selector is therefore not necessary.
Danger of electrical shock!
Unplug the power cord before opening the
housing. Connect the grounding conductor.
Do not interrupt the grounding conductor.
Danger to internal components!
Do not engage or disengage any connections
while the unit is under power. Use only original
replacement fuses.
To increase noise immunity, connect the ground
terminal on the rear panel to the central ground
point of the machine.

Operating Parameters
Operating parameters allow you to modify the operating
characteristics of your ND display unit and define the
evaluation of the encoder signals.
Operating parameters are designated by:
• The letter P,
• A two-digit parameter number, and
• An abbreviation.
Example:P01 INCH
Operating Parameters
The factory settings of the operating parameters are
indicated in the parameter list (see “List of Operating
Parameters”) in boldface type.
Parameters consist of “user parameters” and “protected
operating parameters,” which can only be accessed by
entering a code number.
User parameters
User parameters are operating parameters that can be
changed without entering the code number:
P00 to P30, P50, P51, P79, P86, P98
The functions of the individual user parameters are detailed in
the list of operating parameters (see “List of Operating
Parameters”).
To access a user parameter ...
... after switching on the display:
While ENT ... CL is
displayed:
Display first user parameter.
MOD
... during operation:
Together:
Display first user parameter.
MOD
To go directly to a user parameter:
Together:
Press and hold CL while entering the first
digit of the parameter number (here, 1).
Enter the second digit of the parameter
number (here, 9).
The display shows the selected user
parameter.

Code number for changing protected operating
parameters
If you wish to change protected operating parameters, you
must first enter the code number 9 51 48:
ä
Select the user parameter P00 CODE.
ä
Enter the code number 9 51 48.
ä
Confirm entry with ENT.
Parameter P30.1 appears on the display. By paging through
the list of operating parameters you can display—and, if
necessary, change—each protected operating parameter and,
of course, each user parameter.
Once you have entered the code number, the
protected operating parameters remain accessible
until the display unit is switched off.
