Dear Customer,
Dear Engineer,

You are about to mount a SICK LinCoder® System.

These operating instructions are intended to give you the knowledge which is
necessary for you to be able to carry out the mounting rapidly and correctly.

8019664/13GU

Foreword

The LinCoder® System from SICK is a contactless, absolute length measuring system.

The measuring system is suitable for length measurement up to maximum of 40 metres,
both indoors and outdoors under normal ambient condition.

The measuring system comprises at least two parts:

– the scale

– the sensor

Scale

The scale – referred to below as the magnetic strip – comprises a magnetized plastic
strip which, at the factory, is laminated to a (ferromagnetic) steel strip.

The plastic strip contains the absolute length information magnetized on in the form of a
12-bit code.

Sensor

The sensor substantially comprises a rectangular aluminium housing
with a flanged plug or PG outlet.

In the application, the sensor is guided over the magnetic strip.

The sensor registers the information magnetized onto the magnetic strip and
from this determines a defined absolute length value.

The absolute position data are transmitted from and by the sensor to a control system or
to a host computer.

If you have any questions in relation to the LinCoder
answer them.

The telephone number will be found on the inside front cover of these operating
instructions.

3.2 Device safety

The LinCoder® System is a quality product produced in accordance with the recognized
industrial regulations and meets the quality requirements of ISO 9001.

The system left the manufacturing plant in perfect condition with regard to safety.

In order to maintain this condition, as installer you must carry out your task in accor-

dance with the descriptions in these instructions, technically correctly and with the
greatest possible precision.

In addition, we assume that you have sound knowledge in mechanical, precision engi­neering and electrical engineering.

 Use the length measuring system only for the purpose corresponding to its de-

sign.

 Switch off the devices/machines/plant affected by mounting.

If appropriate, isolate the devices/machines/plant from the mains.

 Depressurize pneumatic/hydraulic devices/machines/plant before mounting.

 If necessary, set up warning signs, in order to prevent inadvertent starting up of

the devices/machines/plant.

 Take care, for example in the case of long mounting lengths, that no parts of the

plant penetrate into the mounting area.

 Lay the data cable from the sensor to the controller in such a way that it

– does not remain hanging during operation when moving over the measure-

ment length;
– is not crushed, kinked or otherwise damaged;
– does not run directly beside power lines or through relatively strong alternat-

ing electromagnetic fields.

System Description

5.2 Functional principle

The LinCoder® L 230 length measuring system comprises a magnetic strip and a sensor.

The magnetic strip represents the scale for a distance of up to 40 metres.

The absolute information is magnetized onto the strip in a sequential 12-bit code. In order
to achieve as high a resolution and accuracy as possible, a so-called incremental track is
also magnetized onto the magnetic strip, that is to say north and south poles are always
present alternately.

The magnetic strip is laminated by the manufacturer onto a ferromagnetic strip (steel
strip) which, firstly, serves as a magnetic return path and, secondly, serves as a
dimensionally stable mounting aid. The magnetic strip can therefore be bonded directly
onto a ferromagnetic carrier without any restriction, without there being any influence on
the magnetization. Depending on the composition of the carrier material (for the magnetic
strip) at the customer, the magnetic strip is supplied with an appropriate double-sided
adhesive tape, which is already bonded to one side of the steel strip by the manufacturer.

A contactless magnetic sensor with integrated evaluation electronics and corresponding
interface is led over the measurement path, and its position is output with a resolution of
1 µm/10 µm/156.25 m.

The sensor outputs its information to the control system either via an SSI interface
(synchronous serial interface) or via a HIPERFACE
interface).

The mounting arrangement must ensure that the sensor can overtravel the start and finish of the
magnetic tape by at least 50 mm; this enables the complete measurement length of the tape to be
registered. The start of the tape is marked by a coloured dot. The arrow indicates the direction of
travel which results in an increasing code sequence. Due to the way the system operates, the mag­netic tape is always 130 mm longer than the measurement length required.

8.2 Mounting the magnetic strip

We assume the surface(s), onto which the magnetic tape is glued, to be stable, even, dry,
free from dust, oil, oxides, release agents and other contamination. Cleaning agents such
as isopropanol/water (50/50), heptane, ethanol, acetone and MEK may be used to re­move contamination. The cleaning agent must be chosen such that the substance used
does not attack the surface to be glued and does not leave any residues; basically, it de­pends on the materials to be cleaned. When cleaning metal surfaces with acetone, the
metal surface may cool down during the evaporation phase, and condensate may form. If
so, wait until the surface has dried again.

In order to fix the magnetic strip, we recommended, if not already supplied, the use of the
double-sided adhesive tape type 3M4611F (from Scotch). This adhesive tape is particu­larly suitable for bases made of steel, galvanized steel, aluminium and plastic. In order to
check the adhesive strength with other bases in advance, we will gladly provide a sample
on request.

 Make the sensor travel over the measurement path and, by means of a plumb line or a

square, transfer the centre line of the sensor to the base. Identify this point by means
of a scriber, lead pencil or the like.

 Connect the individual points by means of a rule, chalk line or with the aid of a laser

beam to form a continuous line. This line corresponds to the centre line of the meas­urement path.

 If necessary, draw a second line at a distance of 12.5 mm from the centre line.

 If appropriate, stick a double-sided adhesive tape over the complete magnetic strip

length, flat on the underside of the magnetic strip.

 Lay the magnetic strip centrally on the centre line over its complete length. The point-

like marking on the magnetic strip must point in the direction of the start of the meas­urement path.

 Fix the magnetic strip provisionally (for example with weights, non-ferrous screw

clamps) at a number of points.

 Lift the magnetic strip upwards a little at the start of the measurement path and, in the

starting area, remove the protective film from the double-sided adhesive tape.

 Stick the starting area of the magnetic strip exactly onto the centre line.

 Stick the rest of the magnetic strip onto the base, by removing the fixing piece by

piece and pulling out the protective film sideways.

Maintenance/Cleaning

11 Maintenance/Cleaning

 Before carrying out maintenance/cleaning work, switch off all the parts of the

device/machine/plant that are affected.

11.1 Maintenance

The LinCoder® System is a contactless measuring system and contains no moving
parts. Therefore it is basically maintenance-free.

Under rough operating conditions – above all outdoors – corrosion or material fatigue
phenomena (adhesive tape) may be produced by ambient influences.

Before this wear causes faults, the influences should be prevented by suitable measures.

 Therefore, from time to time check the parts of the measuring system for damage.

 Replace damaged parts only by original SICK STEGMANN spare parts.

 Under no circumstances open the parts of the measuring system.

11.2 Cleaning

 Do not use any scouring or corrosive cleaning agents.

 Prevent liquids or moisture penetrating into the sensor.

 Under no circumstances open parts of the measuring system.

gnetic fields

to EIA 485

External magnetic fields should not exceed 64 mT (640 Oe; 52kA/m) on the surface of
the gauge, since this can damage the coding on the gauge. Magnetic fields > 1 mT at the
measuring system affect the measurement accuracy.

Initial commissioning

The measurement path can start at any position between 0 m and 40 m. Therefore it will
be helpful, prior to initial commissioning, to align the electrical zero point to your intended
mechanical position. When operating with the SSI interface, this can be performed via the
SET input, for HIPERFACE variants, this can be programmed via software.

** This output programmes the counting direction of the LinCoder. If not connected, this

input is “high”. If the LinCoder is moved from the start to the end of the magnetic strip,
it counts upwards. If the LinCoder is to count upwards from the end to the start of the
magnetic strip, this terminal must be connected permanently to “low” GND.
