Replacement of Heidenhain ECN1313 on Baumuller DSG

Question:

We have tested a Baumuller DSG 56M servo which uses Heidenhain ECN1313 Endat Serial Encoder. The encoder had a light source problem. When we choose the BR memory selection, ıt shows us a memory about encoder and the information is right. We will align a new encoder.

1. Do we have to copy the memory from old encoder to the new one.

2. Will just adjusting UV lock up angle be adequate?

3. Since the serial number of the new encoder will be different, will it be a problem for the driver to run the motor?

Answer:

1. Any time that the original encoder contains memory data, then that data should be written to the replacement encoder. Since we do not have a specific Baumuller memory test you will need to send us the memory file for analysis.

2. Where you able to record the alignment on the original encoder? The Baumuller standard alignment is +U-V=90E, +U-W=150E.

3. We do not have enough knowledge about the individual drives to know if the new encoder serial number will be an issue. In most cases it is not a problem.
