Heidenhain: Diagnostics Kit ID# 1454173-01 (PWM 3000)

Analysis for HEIDENHAIN Encoders

HEIDENHAIN offers an adjusting and testing package for the diagnosis and adjustment of HEIDENHAIN encoders with absolute and incremental interfaces. It consists of the following components:
• PWM 3000: inspection device with Ethernet connectability to a PC
• ATS software: adjusting and testing software with integrated local encoder database for automatic encoder identification
We recommend sending the PWM 3000 to the HEIDENHAIN calibration service in Traunreut, Germany, every two years to ensure traceable and accurate testing performance. For servicing purposes, an encoder diagnostics set can be ordered through the HEIDENHAIN Service department.
This set contains the following extra components: • A sturdy case • Cables for connecting various encoders or for monitoring mode.

Inspection and testing devices from HEIDENHAIN HEIDENHAIN encoders provide all the information needed for initial setup, monitoring, and diagnostics. For the analysis of these encoders, HEIDENHAIN offers the appropriate PWT testing units and PWM inspection devices. The PWM inspection devices, which are universally deployable, feature narrow measuring tolerances and can be calibrated.
Testing devices such as the PWT 101 provide fewer functions, have wider tolerances, and cannot be calibrated.

PWM 3000
The PWM 3000 is the functionally compatible successor model to the PWM 21 (which in turn replaced the PWM 20).
Compared to the PWM 21, the PWM 3000 offers the following advantages:
• Greater flexibility and bandwidth at the measuring input
• Higher computing power
The specifications of the PWM 3000, with its heightened performance, make it possible to integrate future new functions through the ATS software.

Mounting wizard
For mounting exposed or multi-section linear encoders, or modular angle encoders, we recommend using the PWM 3000 with the ATS software. If supported by the encoder interface, the PWT 101 can be used as well, but with limitations.
Please note the information in the encoder documentation regarding mounting and the availability of a mounting wizard.

Overview of important new functions of the ATS software, V4.2:
The most important function in ATS V4.2 is the added support for the PWM 3000.
Other functional additions:
• Enhanced mounting wizard for new encoders
• Support of EnDat 3 features (display of online diagnostics)

Range of functions
The ATS software guides the user through the encoder inspection process. After the encoder is connected, various functions are available depending on the encoder interface or the operating mode. A mounting wizard provides support for encoder-mounting functions and for testing functional safety. Based on the measurement function, there are various possibilities for recording the results. In certain cases, a signal adapter may be needed as well.

Software options
The ATS software permits the user to expand the standard performance range of the software by entering a product key. This key is available for a fee, and is valid only for the PWM with the serial number indicated when purchasing the key. This means the key cannot be used with another PWM 3000. The software options offered for the PWM 3000, PWM 21, and PWM 20 have the same ordering number regardless of device.
