Linear Encoders
The ND 281 and NDP 181 display units are intended
for use with photoelectrical encoders with
sinusoidal signals — 11 µA

Display step with linear encoders
The display step depends on the signal period of
the encoder and the subdivision of the encoder
signals.
You can select a specific display step by adapting
the following operating parameters:
• Subdivision (P32)
• Counting mode (P33)
• Decimal places (P38)
Example
Linear encoder with a signal period of 10 µm
Desired display step ................ 0.000 5 mm
Subdivision (P32) ..................... 20
Counting mode (P33) ............... 5
Decimal places (P38) ............... 4
The tables on this page and on the next will help
you to select the appropriate parameter settings.
