Use the optional functional ground connection as per IEC/EN 60204-1 Use only USB peripherals with continuous shielding, e.g. by metalized film
and metal braiding or a metal housing. The degree of coverage provided by the braiding must be 85 % or higher. The shield must be connected around the entire circumference of the connectors (360° connection).

5.3 Product overview

The connections on the rear panel of the device are protected by dust protection caps from contamination and damage.
NOTICE
Contamination or damage may result if the dust protection caps are missing!
If no dust protection caps are fitted to unused connections, this may impair the proper functioning of the contacts or destroy them.
Remove dust protection caps only when connecting measuring devices or peripherals
If you remove a measuring device or peripheral, re-attach the dust protection cap to the connection
The type of connections for encoders may vary depending on the product version.

Installation | Connecting encoders

5.4 Connecting encoders

For encoders with an EnDat 2.2 interface: If the corresponding encoder input has already been assigned to an axis in the device settings, then the encoder is automatically detected upon restart, and the settings are adapted. Alternatively, you can assign the encoder input after you have connected the encoder.
Note the following pin layout Remove and save the dust protection caps Route the cables depending on the mounting variant
Further information: "Assembly of the product", Page 42
Connect the encoder cables tightly to the respective connections

Basic operation | Performing the reference mark search after startup

6.7 Performing the reference mark search after startup

If the unit is configured with the Turning application mode and a spindle axis S, then you must define an upper limit for the spindle
speed prior to a possible machining operation.
Further information: "Defining the upper limit for the spindle speed (in
the Turning application mode)", Page 223
If the reference mark search after unit start is active, then all of the unit’s functions will be disabled until the reference mark search has been successfully completed.
Further information: "Reference marks (Encoder)", Page 336
The reference mark search does not need to be performed for serial encoders with EnDat interface, because the axes are automatically homed.
If the reference mark search is active on the unit, then a wizard will ask you to traverse the reference marks of the axes.
After logging in, follow the instructions of the wizard The Reference symbol stops blinking upon successful completion of the
reference mark search
Further information: "Operating elements of the position display", Page 88 Further information: "Activating the reference mark search", Page 115
