Integrated temperature evaluation

These rotary encoders feature an internal
temperature sensor integrated into theencoder electronics, as well as an evaluation
circuit for an external temperature sensor.
In both cases, the respective digitized
temperature value is transmitted purely
serially via the DRIVE-CLiQ interface. Pleasebear in mind that neither the temperature
measurement nor the transmission of thetemperature value is safe in terms offunctional safety.
The temperature measured by the internal
temperature sensor is higher by a devicespecific and application-specific amountthan the temperature at measuring point
M1 as shown in the dimension drawing.

Upon reaching a trigger threshold for theinternal temperature sensor, these rotary
encoders issue an “Alarm 135” error
message. This threshold may varydepending on the device and is stated in
the specifications.

For a PT1000, the following values apply
with regard to the accuracy of the evaluationcircuit:±6 K at –40 °C to 80 °C±4 K at 80.1 °C to 160 °C±6 K at 160.1 °C to 200 °C

During operation, it is recommended
that the temperature be kept adequately
below this threshold. Fulfillment of theencoder’s intended use requires adherence
to the operating temperature at measuring
point M1.

For a KTY 84-130 semiconductor sensor,
the following values apply with regard to
the accuracy of the evaluation circuit:±6 K at –40 °C to 80 °C±3 K at 80.1 °C to 160 °C±6 K at 160.1 °C to 200 °CTemperature measurement in motors
To protect a motor from overloading, themotor manufacturer usually installs atemperature sensor in close proximity tothe motor winding. A PT 1000 temperature
sensor or a KTY 84-130 semiconductor
sensor, for example, is to be used for thispurpose.

The temperature values are transmitted via
the DRIVE‑CLiQ protocol.
The temperature sensor used is adjustable
via Parameter 601 in the configuration
software (e.g., Starter software) of thedrive.

Online diagnostics and firmware version

For evaluation of the encoder’s functionality,valuation numbers can be cyclically readfrom the encoder. These valuation numbers
indicate the encoder’s current status andcan be used to determine its “functionreserves.” The function reserves are alsotransmitted via the DRIVE-CLiQ interface
and can be displayed in the higher-level
control. Further information is available fromHEIDENHAIN upon request.

Electrical connection: pin layout

Pin layout of the ECIThe firmware version can be read via theDRIVE-CLiQ parameter “Act_FW_Version”(index 0). The final two digits of thedisplayed value are decisive.
