The EnDat 2.2 interface, which is well known in the absolute HEIDENHAIN encoders, offers a convenient status request function and diagnostic capabilities, makes it possible to quickly put a system into operation, and permits high clock frequency. During commissioning, the device data can be read out over the EnDat 2.2 interface for self-configuration; during operation, valuation numbers permit diagnostics on the quality of the incremental and absolute tracks. In addition, OEM-specific information can be saved in the length gauge’s memory. The innovative plunger bearing technology enables the length gauge to operate with low wear and friction.
