3.2 Connect Encoder<br />

Connect the encoder to the test unit with an adapter cable.<br />

Note<br />

Adapter cables: see chapter “Overview of Cables and Adapters" on page 113.<br />

In the ATS main menu double-click "Connect encoder".<br />

The "Encoder selection" window offers two possibilities of powering the encoder and setting<br />

the encoder interface:<br />

1 Automatic encoder identification by entering the ID of the encoder.<br />

2 Use manual identification only, if the ATS database does not detect the encoder<br />

(EnDat interface only) or if the ID label on the encoder is missing or illegible.<br />

Note<br />

<strong>HEIDENHAIN</strong> recommends automatic identification.<br />

The relevant encoder data is read from a database. This database is part of the<br />

ATS software.<br />

The encoder database contains all ID numbers and variants of the absolute linear<br />

encoders that existed when the ATS software was released.<br />

It is updated about every 6 months; shorter intervals are sought for.<br />

You will find the most recent data at www.<strong>heidenhain</strong>.de.<br />
