System compatibility
Compatibility description: ERN1387.001-20 belongs to HEIDENHAIN ERN1300 rotary encoder family. 1Vpp sinusoidal output compatible with HEIDENHAIN EXE interpolation units and Fives Giddings & Lewis PIC900 CNC system. Widely applied on heavy CNC boring mill servo feed motors.
Function
Function description: ERN1387.001-20 is bearing integrated incremental rotary encoder manufactured by HEIDENHAIN. It is installed on synchronous servo motor end using stator coupling. Optical grating generates high precision sine/cosine incremental signals together with motor commutation signals. It feeds back rotor angular position and rotation speed to CNC and servo drive, enabling precise vector control of servo motor. Metal housing protects internal optical components from workshop dust and oil mist. Reference mark pulse required for homing after power-up. It is servo motor position measuring spare for heavy CNC boring mills.
Installation
Installation steps: Follow lockout/tagout safety procedure before installation. Cut off encoder 5VDC power. Mount encoder on servo motor flange, install stator coupling and adjust air gap. Connect shielded encoder cable to interpolation unit or servo drive. Restore power, verify POWER and SIG LED indicators, run encoder diagnostic and check position reading.
Interface
Interface list: 14-pin M23 flange connector, 5VDC power terminal,on-board POWER / SIG / FAULT LED indicators for HEIDENHAIN ERN1387.001-20.
Diagnostic
Troubleshooting: No position reading: Check 5VDC power supply, cable breakage or connector pin damage. FAULT LED lit: Low signal amplitude, contamination on grating disc or coupling misalignment. Position tracking error: Electrical noise interference, internal optical component aging or improper mounting gap.
