3.7.3 Measuring System Inputs
HEIDENHAIN TNC contouring controls are designed for use with incremental linear and angular
encoders as measuring systems.
However, HEIDENHAIN recommends using encoders with distance-coded reference marks because
they significantly reduce the traverse distance required to establish the absolute position.
Maximum current load per encoder input:
200 mA
Use only original HEIDENHAIN encoder cables, connectors and couplings. For maximum cable
lengths see “Cable Overview.”

For the spindle position, HEIDENHAIN recommends the ROD 486 with 1024 or 2048 lines.
The 1 V
