Reliability
Exposed linear encoders from HEIDENHAIN

are optimized for use on fast, precise
machines. Despite their exposed mechanical
design, these encoders are highly insensitive
to contamination, ensure high long-term
stability, and are quickly and easily mounted.
Lower sensitivity to contamination

Both the high quality of the grating and the
scanning method are responsible for the
accuracy and reliability of linear encoders.
Exposed linear encoders from HEIDENHAIN
employ single-field scanning, in which a
single large scanning field is used to
generate the scanning signals. Local
contamination on the measuring standard
(e.g., fingerprints from the mounting process
or oil residues from guideways) has only a
slight influence on the light intensity of the
signal components and thus on the scanning
signals. Although this contamination does
cause a change in the amplitude of the
output signals, their offset and phase position
remain unaffected. The signals remain
highly interpolable, and the position error
within one signal period remains small.

Mechanical design types and mounting
Linear scales
Exposed linear encoders are made up of

two separate components: the scanning
head and linear scale or scale tape, which
are brought together solely over the machine
guideway. For this reason, the machine
must be designed from the very beginning Scale
to meet the following requirements: LIP 201
• The machine guideway must be designed
such that the scanning gap tolerances
are complied with at the location where
the encoder is installed (see Specifications)
• The mounting surface of the scale must
meet the flatness requirements
• To facilitate adjustment of the scanning
head to the scale, the scanning head
should be fastened with a mounting
bracket Scale

Scale for LIC 4005, LIDA 405
LIDA 4x5
Linear encoders of the LIC 41x5 and
LIDA 4x5 series are specially designed for
large measuring lengths. They are mounted
with scale carrier sections screwed onto
the mounting surface or adhesively bonded
with PRECIMET adhesive mounting film.
The single-piece steel scale tape is then
pulled through the carrier, tensioned as
specified, and secured at its ends to the
machine base. The LIC 41x5 and LIDA 4x5
encoders thereby exhibit the same thermal
behavior as that of the mounting surface.

through, and the midpoint is secured to the
machine bed. This mounting method allows Scale for LIC 4007, LIC 2107, LIDA 207/407

Mechanical design types and mounting
Scanning heads
Because exposed linear encoders are

assembled on the machine, they must be LIP 200
precisely adjusted after mounting. This
adjustment determines the final accuracy
of the encoder. It is therefore advisable to
design the machine such that this Spacer shim
adjustment is as easy and practical as
possible, while also ensuring the greatest
possible degree of mounting stability.

Mounting the LIP 2x1
The LIP 2x can be fastened from the side as
well as from above. The housing cover has a
raised contact surface for the thermal con-
nection to ensure optimal heat dissipation.
The contact surface is compressed against
the mounting element during mounting. LIP 6000

Mounting the LIC/LIDA
There are three options for mounting the
scanning head (see Dimensions). A spacer
shim makes it quite easy to set the gap
between the scanning head and the scale
or scale tape. It is helpful to fasten the
scanning head from behind with a mounting

bracket. The scanning head can be very
precisely adjusted through a hole in the
Spacer shim
mounting bracket with the aid of a tool.

Adjustment
The gap between the scale and scanning

head is easily adjusted with the aid of a
spacer shim.

The signals from the LIC, LIP 6000, and
LIP 200 can be quickly and easily adjusted
with the aid of the PWM 20/21 adjustment
and testing package. For all other exposed
linear encoders, the incremental and
reference mark signals are adjusted through
a slight rotation of the scanning head (for
the LIDA 400, it is possible with the aid of
a tool).

HEIDENHAIN offers the appropriate
measuring and testing devices as
adjustment aids (see Testing equipment
3) Only with the LIDA 400
and diagnostics).
19
Function indicator
The LIDA, LIF, and LIP 6071 linear encoders

feature an integrated function indicator with
a multicolor LED. This makes it possible to
quickly and easily check the signal quality
during normal operation.
The function indicator offers a number of

benefits:
• Indication of the scanning signal quality
via a multicolor LED
• Continuous monitoring of incremental
signals over the entire measuring length
• Function indicator of the reference-mark
signal
• Quick check of correct operation in the
field without technical aids
LIDA: function indicator in the scanning head
The integrated function indicator permits
both a reliable assessment of the
incremental signals as well as a check of
the reference mark signal. The quality of
the incremental signals is indicated by
color gradations that provide a detailed
indication of the signal quality. Whether or
not the reference mark signal complies
with tolerances is shown by a pass/fail
indicator.

Testing equipment and diagnostics
HEIDENHAIN encoders provide all of the

information necessary for commissioning,
monitoring, and diagnostics. The type of
information available depends on whether
the encoder is incremental or absolute and
on which interface is used.
Incremental encoders mainly have 1 VPP,
TTL, or HTL interfaces. TTL and HTL
encoders monitor their signal amplitudes
internally and generate a single fault
detection signal. With 1 VPP signals, the
analysis of output signals is possible only
with external testing devices or via
computation in the subsequent electronics
(analog diagnostics interface).
Absolute encoders use serial data transmis-
sion. Depending on the interface, additional
1 VPP incremental signals can be output.
Diagnostics in the control loop on HEIDENHAIN controls with display of
the valuation number or the analog encoder signals
The signals are comprehensively monitored
within the encoder. The monitoring result
(particularly in the case of valuation numbers)
can be transmitted to the subsequent
electronics along with the position values
via the serial interface (digital diagnostics
interface). The following information is
available:
• Error message: position value is not
reliable.
• Warning: An internal functional limit of
the encoder has been reached.
• Valuation numbers:
–– Detailed information on the encoder’s
functional reserve
–– Identical scaling for all HEIDENHAIN

encoders
–– Cyclic reading is possible
This enables the subsequent electronics to
evaluate the current status of the encoder
with little effort, even in closed-loop mode.
Diagnostics via the PWM 21 and ATS software
HEIDENHAIN offers the appropriate PWM
inspection devices and PWT testing
devices for encoder analysis. Depending
on how these devices are integrated, a
differentiation is made between two types
of diagnostics:
• Encoder diagnostics: the encoder is

connected directly to the testing or
inspection device. This makes a detailed
analysis of encoder functions possible.
• Diagnostics in the control loop: The PWM
testing unit is linked into the closed
control loop (e.g., via a suitable testing
adapter). This enables real-time diagnosis
of the machine or system during operation.
The available functions depend on the
interface.

electronics Plug design
There are interface electronics with the
following interfaces to the subsequent
electronics:
• TTL square-wave pulse trains
• EnDat 2.2
• DRIVE-CLiQ
• Fanuc Serial Interface
• Mitsubishi high speed interface
• Yaskawa Serial Interface
• Profibus
Interpolation of the sinusoidal

input signals
In addition to being converted, the sinusoidal
encoder signals are also interpolated in
the interface electronics. This permits finer
measuring steps and, as a result, higher

control quality and better positioning
behavior.
Formation of a position value
Some interface electronics have an
integrated counting function. Starting from
the last set reference point, an absolute
position value is generated and output to

the subsequent electronics when the
reference mark is traversed. Top-hat rail design
