2.3 Assembly
Encoder shaft drive
Encoders of the CE series are connected to the drive shaft by an elastic coupling which
compensates for any deviations in the axial and radial direction between the encoder
and drive shaft. This avoids excessive strain on the bearings. Couplings can be ordered
on request.
Flange mounting
The centering collar with fit f7 centers the encoder in relation to the shaft. It is fixed to
the machine by means of three screws in the flange (Fig. 1).
Clamping bracket mounting
The centering collar with fit f7 centers the encoder in relation to the shaft. The encoder
is fixed by means of two clamping brackets (Fig. 2).

Transportation / device data
2.4 Connecting the Cable Screening to the Bus-Cap
To prevent disturbance signals entering the encoder housing, we used cable screw
glands with which it is possible to connect the screen on the inside. For this reason, no
connection point for the screen is provided inside the cup-cap.
Procedure:
1. Screw the cable screw gland into the housing.
2. Dismount the compression nut (1) and the terminal holder (2).
3. Push the compression nut (1) and the terminal holder (2) over the cable.
4. Strip the cable; push back the braiding around the terminal holder (2) such that the
braiding goes over the inner O-ring (3) and does not lie over the cylindrical section
or the torsional bars.
5. Insert the terminal holder (2) into the intermediate gland (4) such that the torsional
bars fit into the intended lengthwise grooves in the intermediate gland (4).
6. Screw the compression nut (1) to the intermediate gland (4).

3 Device description / start-up
3.1 PNO identification number
The encoder has the PNO ID number AAAB (hex). This number is reserved and filed
with the PNO.
3.2 PNO certificate
The encoder has passed a certification test by an independent test laboratory of the
Profibus User Organization and is certified under the number Z00319. The relevant
documents are held by TR Electronic and the PNO.
3.3 PNO encoder profile
The Profibus User Organization has issued an encoder profile defining the structure of
an encoder on the Profibus. A copy of this profile can be obtained for a fee from the
PNO office. Details of prices are available exclusively by the Profibus User
Organization.
3.4 Operating requirements
Theoretically, the encoder can be connected to any Profibus-DP network, provided
the PROFIBUS-DP master is capable of transmitting a parameter message. Similarly,
the configuration software should be able to display the parameter structure specified
in the device master file in order to allow the parameters to be entered. If this is not
the case, the encoder cannot be programmed and runs on the bus with the maximum
resolution, and without the possibility of scaling or adjustment as Class-1 encoder.
TR Electronic supplies a Software/Support CD containing the device master file
(.GSD) and a type file (.200) for users with SIEMENS masters. If the CD is not
enclosed with this documentation, it can be purchased by order number: 490-01001,
Soft-No.: 490-00406.
For details of how to integrate the encoder into the interface of the DP master
configuration software, please refer to the relevant documentation.
3.5 Setting the station address
The station address of the encoder is set exclusively via the rotary switch in the cover
containing the connecting terminals. When the terminals are viewed from above
(outgoing cable facing downwards), the left-hand switch sets the tens and the righthand switch the units of the station address.
The addressing of the encoder is limited within the Profibus address area. Valid
station addresses are 3 - 99.
If an invalid station address is set, the device will not start up and the LEDs will not be
illuminated.

Device description / start-up
3.6 PROFIBUS – interface
All devices are connected in a bus structure (line). Up to 32 subscribers (master or
slaves) can be connected together in a segment.
The bus is terminated with an active bus termination at the beginning and end of each
segment. For stable operation, it must be ensured that both bus terminations are
always supplied with voltage. The bus termination can be switched in the measuring
system connector hood. As a general rule, both switches must always be switched on
(if encoder is the last station) or switched off (if the encoder is not the last station).
Repeaters (signal amplifiers) have to be used with more than 32 subscribers or to
expand the network scope in order to connect the various bus segments.
All cables used must conform with the PROFIBUS specification for the following
copper data wire parameters:
The PROFIBUS transmission speed may be set between 9.6 kBit/s and 12 Mbit/s and
is automatically recognized by the measuring system. It is selected for all devices on
the bus at the time of commissioning the system.
The range is dependent on the transmission speed for cable type A:
Baud rate (kbits/s)
Range / Segment
A shielded data cable must be used to achieve high electromagnetic interference
stability. The shielding should be connected with low resistance to protective ground
using large shield clips at both ends. It is also important that the data line is routed
separate from power current carrying cables if at all possible. At data speed ≥ 1.5
Mbit, drop lines should be avoided under all circumstances.
The measuring system connector hood offers the possibility of connecting the inward
and outward data cables directly to the removable connector hood. This avoids drop
lines and the bus connector can be connected to and disconnected from the bus at
any time without interruption of data traffic.

In particular, the applicable EMC directive and the shielding and grounding guidelines
must be observed!

3.7 Device master file
For encoders with version 3.x, the device master file of the encoder has the filename
TR03AAAB.GSD. Because of the extended performance range, for devices with
version 4 and up the file *TR05AAAB.GSD was created.
For users of older Siemens masters, there is also a so-called type file called
TRAAAB3X.200 which fulfils the same function as the device master file
TR03AAAB.GSD, but has a special data format.
To find out how to integrate these files into the system configuration, please refer to
the documentation of the configuration program for the Profibus master.
The encoder also has two bitmap files named TRAAAB3N.BMP and TRAAAB3S.BMP
or TRAAAB5N.DIP and TRAAAB5S.DIP which represent the encoder in the normal
and faulty states respectively. These images also have to be integrated into the
system configuration according to the instructions of the relevant documentation.
* Usable as of COMPROFIBUS version 5.0 (S5) or STEP7 as of version 5.0 service
pack 3 (S7).
The file TR05AAAB.GSD causes:
- 4 byte parameter (see also notes on page 27)
(no partitioning into high and low word at decimal input)
- Extended performance range
- Teach In
- Limit switches
- switchable diagnostic length
- switchable units for rev. per min

3.8 Configuration and parameterization
3.8.1 Configuration
Configuration means specifying the length and type of process data and the manner
in which they are to be handled. For this purpose, the configuration program usually
provides an input list in which the user has to enter the appropriate identifiers.
Since the encoder supports several possible configurations, the identifier to be
entered is preset depending on the required nominal configuration, so that all you
have to do is enter the I/O addresses. The identifiers are deposited in the device
master file.
Depending on the required nominal configuration, the encoder will assign a different
number of input and output words on the PROFIBUS.
In the following, the individual nominal configurations and the position of the
communication bytes for the data transfer with the PROFIBUS-DP master are
described.
3.8.1.1 Class 1 16-bit resolution, identifier D0 (HEX):
The encoder uses one input word only, which is consistently transferred via the bus.
Input word IW x
MSB
Relevant parameter data:
• Count direction
3.8.1.2 Class 1 32-bit resolution, identifier D1 (HEX):
The encoder uses two input words only, which are consistently transferred via the
bus.
Double input word ID x
MSB
Relevant parameter data:
• Count direction
Data b yte 1 Data byte 0
Inp ut byte x+0 Input byte x+1
Data byte 3 Da ta byt e 2
Inpu t byte x+0
nput b yte x+1Input byte x+2Input byte x+3
LSB
ata byte 1 Data byte 0
LSB
In the case of configurations for CLASS 1, preset adjustment is not possible via
the PROFIBUS, and only the code sequence can be changed. The encoder
operates with the standard resolution specified on the rating plate. The
diagnostic data are limited to 16 bytes.
Page 20 of 45 TR - ECE - BA - GB - 0009 - 08 03/04/2010
P
3.8.1.6 TR-mode position+velocity, identifier F1 (HEX):
The encoder uses two input words for the position plus a separate input word for the
velocity, and two output words which are consistently transferred via the bus. The
velocity is output with a sign in revolutions per minute and has an accuracy of +/- 1
rpm.
The configurations designated "TR mode" are not compatible with the PNO
encoder profile in terms of the parameter record. The scaling function
prescribed by the PNO profile is a simple special case of a general gear. Due to
the extended 'gear' scaling function, additional parameters are therefore
necessary in order to describe the gear fully.
In other words, the TR-specific modes represent an extension of the encoder
function which is not restricted by its compatibility with the PROFIBUS-DP and
certification.

Device description / start-up
3.8.2 Parameterization
Parameterization means providing a PROFIBUS-DP slave with certain information
required for operating purposes before it begins the cyclical exchange of process
data. For example, the encoder requires data concerning the resolution, count
direction, preset values, etc.
The configuration program for the PROFIBUS-DP master usually provides an input
mask via which the user can enter the parameter data or select from lists. The
structure of the input mask is stored in the device master file. The number and type of
the parameters to be entered by the user depend on the chosen nominal
configuration.
3.8.2.1 Code sequence:
Defines the count direction of the encoder.
Selection
• Increasing clockwise *
• Increasing counter-clockwise
3.8.2.2 Class 2 functionality:
Defines the encoder's range of functions.
"Class 2 deactivated" means that the encoder only performs Class 1 functions, does
not scale the position value and is not adjustable.
Selection
• No (Class 2 functions deactivated)*
• Yes (Class 2 activated)
3.8.2.3 Commissioning diagnostic control:
Defines whether the encoder outputs an extended diagnostic message.
Selection
• Disabled (Commissioning diagnostic control deactivated)*
• Enabled (Commissioning diagnostic control activated)
3.8.2.4 Scaling function control:
Defines whether the encoder scales the position on the basis of the subsequent
parameter. If Class 2 is deactivated, it does not scale the position value and is not
adjustable.
Selection
• Disabled (scaling deactivated)*
• Enabled (scaling activated)
3.8.2.5 Measuring units per revolution:
Defines the number of increments displayed by the encoder for each revolution of the
encoder shaft.

3.8.2.14 Commissioning function
This parameter defines the setting of the commissioning function. In the standard
setting "Off, no status" the encoder is compatible to encoders with version 3.x (further
details see Teach-In function).
Selection
Off, no status (V3.x), default

3.8.2.15 Short diagnostic (16 byte)
With this parameter in the TR operation modes the number of diagnostic bytes can be
limited from 6+51 bytes to 6+10 bytes. Therefore the encoder can be operated also to
Profibus masters with older issue numbers in these modes.

3.8.2.16 Limit switch lower and upper limit
Is the status switched on (see commissioning function) the encoder can inform the
master via a bit whether the actual value is within the limits.
It is valid:
Limit switch bit = 0 if lower limit < actual value < upper limit
Limit switch bit = 1 if actual value < lower limit or actual value > upper limit
The inputs depend on the total measuring length in increments.

With this parameter the information of the rotation speed can be scaled in arbitrary
increments between 1/1 and 1/100 rpm.
• Lower limit 1
• Upper limit 100
• Default value 1
Notes for the input of parameters with data format 32 bits
(only in connection with the device master file "TR03AAAB.GSD")
The Profibus standard DIN 19245 provides the data format "UNSIGNED32" for the
definition of 32 bits of parameter data in the device master file. This data format isn't
supported by all configuration programs for profibus master. These programs clip the
more significant word of the parameter. In order to allow inputs despite this, these
parameters are split up into single words.
Illogically enough, the input in the input masks also has to be made in decimal form.
This affects the following parameters:
• Total measuring range [units]
• Revolutions numerator
• Preset 1 value
• Preset 2 value
In the meantime, we recommend the following procedure for entering measuring
lengths in increments larger than 16 bits:
1. Convert the desired measuring length in increments to a hexadecimal figure
2. Convert only the four less significant tetrads (figures) back to decimal format
3. Convert only the remaining more significant tetrads (figures) back to decimal
Example:

3.8.3 Scaling function
3.8.3.1 Nominal configurations PNO Class 1+2
The encoder does not support a gear function. The position value is decoded in binary
form and balanced against a zero offset and the code sequence.
The position is calculated according to the following formula:
Measuring length in increments
Number of increments per revolution
Number of revolutions
When entering the parameterization data, make sure the parameters 'Measuring
length in increments' and 'Number of increments per revolution' are chosen so
that the quotient of the two parameters is a second power.
If this is not the case, the encoder will correct the measuring length in
increments to the next smallest second power in revolutions. The number of
increments per revolution remains constant.
The re-calculated measuring length in increments can be read out via the
extended diagnostic information for Class 2 and is always smaller than the
predefined measuring length. Therefore it can be that the actually needed total
increment number is exceeded and the encoder generates a zero-point
changeover before reaching the maximum mechanical displacement distance.
Since the internal absolute position (before the encoder was scaled and a zeropoint adjustment was executed) recurs periodically after 4096 revolutions, at
rotating applications (endless driving to the same direction, the number of
revolutions is not a power of two) it comes inevitably to offsets.
For such applications, one of the TR - nominal configurations has to be used.

3.8.3.2 Nominal configuration TR-mode position and TR-mode position+velocity
The encoder supports the gear function for rotating applications. The position value is
balanced against a zero offset, the code sequence and the entered gear parameters.
The number of increments per revolution is calculated according to the following
formula:
Measuring length in increments
Number of increments per revolution = ------------------------------------------------------
Number of revolutions numerator

3.9 Preset adjustment
Risk of injury and damage to property by an actual value jump when the
adjustment function is performed!
WARNING !
The adjustment function should only be performed when the measuring system is
•
at rest, otherwise the resulting actual value jump must be permitted in the
program and application!
In 'Class 2' mode and in the 'TR - operation modes', the PROFIBUS can be used to
adjust the encoder to any position value within a range of 0 to (measuring length in
increments - 1).
This is done by setting the most significant bits of the output data (2
Class 2 - 32 bits or 2
The preset adjustment value transferred in data bytes 0 - 3 is accepted as the position
value with the leading edge of bit 32 (=bit 7 of data byte 3).
To suppress interference, however, the new position value is only carried out if the
control bit 32 is present without interruption during the entire response time of 30 ms.
A re-adjustment is not possible until the control bit has been reset again and a filter
time of 30 ms has been waited.
In the Class 2 mode this process is not acknowledged via the inputs.
In the TR - operations modes at status switched-on (see adjustments of the
Commissioning function) this process is acknowledged via the most significant bit.

3.10 Commissioning function (Teach-in function for linear axes)
This function is activatable in the parameterization.
When the commissioning function is activated, the relevant distance can be traversed
with the machine. On the basis of the input "requested number of units per distance
traveled", the encoder automatically calculates its measuring length in increments
from the position difference and the selected measuring units. This value can then be
entered in the parameterization file, so that the teach-in process does not need to be
repeated should the encoder be exchanged.
For the Teach-In procedure following reductions are valid:
• The number of the revolutions must be programmed fixed to 4096 and may not be
changed in the parameterization!
• The maximum displacement distance mustn't exceed 2048 revolutions
• During the Teach-In process the maximum number of increments per revolution of
the encoder mustn't be exceeded (e.g. specification of a measuring length of 3000
increments and indication of a displacement distance of ¼ of a revolution)
• For rotating applications the commissioning function is not suitable and not valid
When the teach-in function is activated, the green LED flashes at a frequency of
approx. 1 Hz.
To remain downward compatible to the version of 3.x, in the parameter setting there
are three different settings:
• OFF, no status:
This setting is compatible with version 3.x, that means the bits 2
always "0".
• OFF, with status:
In this setting the status bits are visible, but the function is not activated
Page 32 of 45 TR - ECE - BA - GB - 0009 - 08 03/04/2010
3.10.2 Teach-in procedure
The teach-in procedure takes place in several stages which are described below. It is
assumed that the PROFIBUS is in operation, that the PLC is in its cycle, and that its
process image is continuously updated. The inputs and outputs assigned by the
encoder in the PLC must be able to be controlled via a programming device (e.g.
"Control variables" function in SIMATIC-S5 system), or alternatively by a PLC
handling facility.
1. After selecting manual or set-up mode, move the machine by hand to the starting
position of the distance to be measured.
2. Find out whether the present adjusted counting direction is correct for the
application. If not, first the counting direction must be inverted with setting the
"
Change counting direction" bit in the control byte. The encoder displays
the present counting direction in the status byte.
3. Set the "
The encoder then re-programs its measuring length in increments to the maximum
resolution, memorizes its current position and acknowledges this process by
setting the "
Start Teach-In" bit in the control byte

5. In manual or set-up mode, move the machine by hand to the ending position of
the distance to be measured. Measure the distance between initial and ending
position with a measuring tape of arbitrary measurement unit.
6. Enter the real distance in measured units according to the tape measure in data
bytes D0 and D1 of the outputs.
7. Set the "Takeover of the drive distance" bit in the control byte
The encoder then calculates the measuring length in increments from the
requested travelling distance in measured units, enters the calculated measuring
length in increments in data bytes D0 .. D2 of the inputs and acknowledges this
process by setting the "
byte.
8. Make a note of the measuring length in increments!
9. Reset the "
The encoder then accordingly resets the "

completed.
10. Carry out presetting or adjustment.
If one of the steps was omitted or incompletely executed, the entire procedure must
be repeated.
During the teach-in process, the encoder must not be adjusted and no presettings
may be performed.
Once all axes have been set up with the teach-in function, the noted measuring
lengths in increments must be entered in the parameterization file of the encoder
using the configuration program for the PROFIBUS master (e.g. COM-ET-200 or COM
PROFIBUS), and the teach-in mode must be deactivated. This ensures that the teachin process does not have to be repeated should the encoder be exchanged.

3.11 Optional SSI interface
The encoder has a separate Synchronous Serial Interface via which its position value
can be made available to a further evaluation unit (e.g. drive controller). The position
value output at this interface is identical to the value output on the PROFIBUS in
terms of conversion and code sequence. In order to use this interface, a special cover
with terminals for the SSI interface is necessary.
3.11.1 Limitation of SSI interface
The encoder position is re-loaded after each read process, and remains unchanged
until the next time it is accessed. If the SSI master (e.g. drive controller or WF
assembly) reads the position at prolonged or irregular intervals, this may lead to
contouring error messages.
To avoid this, the position should be read at short, regular intervals.
The monoflop time of the SSI interface is around 35 - 55 µs (typ. 41 µs) as opposed to
20 - 40 µs in the standard interface.

4.1 Visual indicators
The encoder is equipped with two LEDs in the bus cover: one red LED (BF) for
indicating errors and one green LED (STAT) for indicating status information.
When the encoder is started up, both LEDs flicker briefly. Thereafter, the indications
depend on the operational status of the encoder.

4.2 How to use the PROFIBUS diagnostics
In a Profibus system, the Profibus masters supply the process data to a so-called host
system, e.g. a PLC-CPU. If a slave is not accessible, or no longer accessible, on the
bus, or if the slave itself reports a fault, the master must communicate this fault to the
host system in some form or other. There are several possible ways of doing this, the
evaluation of which depends entirely on the application in the host system.
As a general rule, a host system cannot be stopped following the failure of only one
component on the bus, but must respond appropriately to the failure as prescribed by
the safety regulations. The master normally provides the host system initially with a
summary diagnosis, which the host system reads cyclically from the master, and
which serves to report the states of the individual bus stations to the application. If a
station is reported to be faulty in the summary diagnosis, the host can request further
data from the master (slave diagnostics), which then allow a more detailed evaluation
of the causes. The indications thus obtained may either have been generated by the
master, if the relevant slave does not respond (or no longer responds) to the master's
requests, or they may come directly from the slave, if the slave itself reports a fault.
The generation or reading of the diagnostic message between the master and slave
takes place automatically, and does not have to be programmed by the user.
In addition to the standard diagnostic information, the encoder provides an extended
diagnostic message according to Class 1 or Class 2 of the PNO encoder profile,
depending on the nominal configuration.

unambiguous number for each device type which is reserved and filed with the PNO.

03/04/2010 TR - ECE - BA - GB - 0009 - 08 Page 43 of 45
Trouble-shooting and diagnostic facilities
According to the PNO encoder profile, an encoder must set the bits 'Ext.diag'
(extended diagnostic information available) and 'Stat.diag' (static error) in the
event of an internal error being detected in the station status. This means that,
in case of error, the encoder stops providing position data and is removed from
the process image by the PROFIBUS master until the error bits are reset. It is
not possible for the user to acknowledge the error via the PROFIBUS in this
way.
This function is only guaranteed provided the Commissioning Diagnostic
function is activated.
