The ND 261 is designed for use with HEIDENHAIN angle encoders with sinusoidal
output signals: either ND 261A for 11 µA
(Id. Nr. 322 352 ..). These angle encoders have one reference mark or several
distance-coded
When a reference mark is crossed over, it generates a signal identifying that position
as a reference point. After switch-on, simply crossing over a reference mark
restores the relationship between axis positions and display values as it was last
defined by datum setting.
With distance-coded reference marks, a maximum traverse of only 10° or 20°
suffices to restore the datum.

Move the axis until the display becomes active and the

Setting the Datum
The datum setting procedure assigns a display value to a specific axis position.
The ND 261 allows you to set two separate datum points.
Select datum 1 or 2.
Enter a value, such as 40.
4 0
Confirm entered value.
You can switch from one datum to the other at any time.
Use datum 2 when you want to display incremental dimensions.

Sorting and Tolerance Check Mode
In this mode, the display value is compared with an upper and a lower limit value.
Status indicators and the trigger signal outputs at the D-sub EXT connection (see
that section) indicate whether the display value is less than the lower limit, greater
than the upper limit, or between the two limit values.
IndicatorMeaning
=Measured value is between the limit values
<Measured value is less than the lower limit value
>Measured value is greater than the upper limit value
Operating parameters for the sorting mode:
• P17: Sorting on/off
• P18, P19: Limit values

Data Output
There are three ways to output data:
➤ PRINT function: Press the MOD key (this method can be inhibited with
operating parameter P86); or
➤ Input the command STX (CTRL B) over the RXD input; or
➤ Input a latch command over the D-sub connection EXT.
A connecting cable (to a PC, for example) is available from HEIDENHAIN
(Id.-Nr. 274 545 ..); cable length up to 20 m (66 ft).
Operating parameters for data output: P50, P51
Wiring and pin layout
Connecting cable is either completely wired (left) or only partially wired (right).

The duration of data transfer depends on the selected baud rate and the number of
additional line feeds. Display of degrees, minutes and seconds increases the storage

Danger to internal components!
Voltage sources from external circuitry must conform to the recommendations in EN 50178 for low-voltage electrical separation. Connect inductive
loads only with a quenching diode parallel to the inductance.
Use only shielded cable!

Display Freeze by Measured Value Output Signal
The effect of the signal for measured value output on the display is defined in user
parameter P23.
➤ Concurrent display: No display freeze. The unit shows the current measured
value ( ).
➤ Frozen display: The display is frozen and is updated with each signal for meas-
ured value output ( ).
➤ Frozen/concurrent display: The display freezes only as long as the signal is
present ( ).
Error Messages

When you have removed the cause of the error,
➤ press CL.
MessageCause and effect

Overflow caused by external preset

Input frequency too high for encoder input

Erase the operating parameters.
If all decimal points light up, the measured value is too large or too small.
In this case, set a new datum or retract.
If all sorting indicators light up, this means that the upper sorting limit is less
than the lower limit.

These errors are significant for a connected device. The error signal (pin 19) at the
EXT D-sub connection is active.
