Hi Jay, The communication is fine now. The PLCs weren't working. The next thing I want to do is use the excel file for the configuration and then tune the motor.

Hi Richard, The manufacturer of the encoder is heidenhain. It is an absolute encoder with 28 bit and endat 2.2. The controller's part number is: GBD4-F3-400-14D4D300

I'm using a new Geo Brick LV with a Endat+sinusodial (4D3 option). I have an Endat 2.2 encoder connected. Until now I couldn't receive any encoder data. I connected an oscilloscope to the wires (with encoder) and there is nothing happening. These are the voltages I measure on CH1 with connected encoder and configured PMAC: Pin 01: 4.73 V (Unused) Pin 02: 4.73 V (Unused) Pin 03: 4.84 V (Unused) Pin 04: 4.93 V (Out, Encoder 5 Volts) Pin 05: 3.16 V (In, Data-) Pin 06: 4.76 V (Out, Serial Encoder Clock-) Pin 07: 2.45 V (Unused) Pin 08: 0.04 V (Unused) Pin 09: 4.73 V (Unused) Pin 10: 4.73 V (Unused) Pin 11: 4.84 V (Unused) Pin 12: 0 V (Common Ground) Pin 13: 4.76 V (Out, Serial Encoder Clock+) Pin 14: 0.82 V (In, Data+) Pin 15: 0 V (Unused) With unconnected encoder I measure the following voltages: Pin 01: 4.73 V (Unused) Pin 02: 4.73 V (Unused) Pin 03: 4.84 V (Unused) Pin 04: 4.94 V (Out, Encoder 5 Volts) Pin 05: 4.82 V (In, Data-) Pin 06: 4.83 V (Out, Serial Encoder Clock-) Pin 07: 2.45 V (Unused) Pin 08: 0.05 V (Unused) Pin 09: 4.73 V (Unused) Pin 10: 4.73 V (Unused) Pin 11: 4.84 V (Unused) Pin 12: 0 V (Common Ground) Pin 13: 4.82 V (Out, Serial Encoder Clock+) Pin 14: 4.82 V (In, Data+) Pin 15: 0 V (Unused) Is the encoder IC dead? How can I make a test to see if it should work?

Dear Sina, I have a GeoBrick LV (GBD4-F3-400-14D4D300) and want to set up an Endat 2.2 Controller. Regarding the Geobrick manual: 4D3: 4 Sinusoidal Encoder and Serial Enc. (EnDat 2.1 / 2.2 Protocol) ... the endat 2.2 protocol should work? Best Regards, Oliver
