Connection details
Important Details The NMS100 is only compatible with Newall Spherosyn Serial and Microsyn Serial encoders. During the install it is important to ensure that:
Secure all the cables to prevent the connectors from dropping into hazardous positions (for example the floor or coolant tray) when they are unplugged.
Route all cables to prevent them from being caught on moving parts.
The NMS100 is grounded to the machine, using the braided grounding lead provided, before the machine supply is turned on.
The power has been disconnected, before the encoder(s) are connected. Do not connect this unit directly to the mains supply.

Setting up the unit
Error Compensation The digital readout (DRO) system helps to improve productivity. It decreases the number of scrapped parts, as there is no concern about making mistakes related to counting the revolutions on the dials. The DRO system also helps to eliminate some errors related to ball-screw backlash.
The DRO system will operate to its published accuracy, provided all components are in working order and properly installed. Field calibration is not necessary.
Accuracy problems with machined parts may be caused by machine error, installation inaccuracies, or a combination of both. The first step in determining the source of error is to check the DRO system. To do this compare the movement of the Newall reader head to the position reading shown on the display. A high accuracy standard, such as a laser interferometer is required. A dial indicator can be used to check short distances, but a laser provides the best results. If a dial indicator must be used, be sure it is the highest available accuracy.
To check the accuracy of the DRO system:
1. Place the target of the laser or the needle of the dial indicator directly on the Newall reader head. It is absolutely critical that the readings are taken directly from the Newall reader head. If a dial indicator must be used, be sure that the needle of the indicator is perpendicular to the reader head and not angled. If readings are taken anywhere else on the machine, machine errors may distort the results.
2. When the reader head moves, the movement registers on the laser / indicator and DRO display.
3. Set the laser / dial indicator and DRO position displays to 0.
4. Make a series of movements and compare the position readings between the laser / dial indicator and the DRO display. If the readings match within the accuracy specified, it proves that the DRO system is operating properly. If this is the case, proceed to the next step: evaluating the machine errors. If the readings do not match, the DRO system must be repaired before proceeding with error compensation.
To evaluate machine errors:
1. Put the laser target / dial indicator on the part of the machine where the machining is done.
2. Make a series of movements and compare the position readings between the laser / dial indicator and the DRO display. The difference between the laser / dial indicator reading and the reading on the DRO display is the machine error.
3. Plot the machine error along the entire axis of travel to determine the nature of the error. If it is a linear error, use linear error compensation. If the error is not linear, use segmented error compensation.

In this mode, you can break down the scale travel for each axis into as many as 99 user-defined segments, with each segment having its own correction factor. The correction factors are
5-5
When following the procedure ensure that a stepped standard is used, and approach each edge from the same direction; or if each edge must be approached from opposite directions, then subtract the width of the tool or measuring probe from the value displayed on the NMS300.

Program Mode
Program mode allows the linear compensation to be calculated manually and then entered as a PPM value into the NMS100 display. The procedure to do this is shown below:
To illustrate the calculation an example is being used where the standard distance is 500.000mm and the measured distance is 500.200mm.
Correction factor = error / actual x 1,000,000 Correction factor = (500.000 - 500.200) / 500.000 x 1,000,000 Correction factor = -400 PPM

Setpoints Function
The NMS100 can store up to 50 Setpoint positions, or machining steps into the memory. Using setpoints allows the operator to work to zero by calling up stored dimensions, instead of "working up" to drawing dimensions. This eliminates the need to constantly refer to the drawing, and reduces the possibility of scrapping parts due to misread dimensions. It also speeds up positioning because the operator focuses on working to zero. The setpoints are stored as co-ordinates relative to the current absolute / incremental datum position. If the absolute / incremental datum position changes, the setpoints will "shift" to the new datum. Once a repetitive sequence of co-ordinates is entered into setpoints, the co-ordinates can be recalled at any time. The positions remain in memory until altered by the operator. Simply assign any setpoint number 1 - 50 to each machining step. When machining, call up each step (setpoint) number and work to zero. There are two ways to store Sub datums, Teach mode and program mode. See example on the next page:

Logging Function The NMS100 readout is capable of offering basic serial communications via a dedicated hardware RS232 compatible port, This is only used for output purposes and is how the logging function operates.
The communication parameters for the NMS 100 are: 115200 band, no parity, 1 stop bit, 8 data bit.
Logging Connection (RS232)
On the back of the NMS100 is a 15 way D female connector that is used to allow logging data to be output to another compatible RS232 device. The connections required to make this happen are detailed below:
Pin 5 - RS232 GND
Pin 3 - RS232 TXD
Pin 15
Pin 2 - RS232 RXD Pin 1
A serial cable is available from Newall, please quote part number 307-83210 when contacting your local Newall supplier for more details.

Digifind / reference function
The NMS100 comes equipped with Digifind, a feature unique to Newall digital readout products. Digifind eliminates the risk of losing position and datum Set-Up. With Digifind, precise Set-Up of a work-piece is carried out only one time. When the NMS100 is powered on, it displays the position at power off, compensated for any movement of a Spherosyn encoder up to 0.2500" (6mm) and a Microsyn encoder up to 0.0787" (2mm) in either direction since the unit was last used. If the machine has moved beyond 0.2500" (6mm) - Spherosyn [0.0787"(2mm) - Microsyn], Digifind allows a quick means to find the datum if lost. A mark must be made on both a stationary part and moving part of the machine. The marks must be aligned and will serve as the machine "home" position. The mark must be indelible, and it must allow the operator to move the machine to within a 0.2500" (6 mm) - Spherosyn [0.0787" (2mm) - Microsyn ] band around the mark at any time. Alternatively, use a convenient reference point on the workpiece.
To use digifind function, simply enter the function menu using , and scroll to the digifind function using

Trouble shooting guide
Symptom
Solution
The display is blank
· The NMS100 may be in sleep mode. Press any key to exit sleep mode · Check that the power supply is correctly connected to a working mains outlet · Check that the power supply cables are not damaged · Check that the power supply voltage is 15 - 24Vdc ±10%
The display works, but resets from time to time without any keys being pressed.
Either the supply voltage is too low, or the power supply or mains supply has an intermittent fault. · Check that the power supply voltage is 15 - 24Vdc ±10%. · Check that all the connections are secure.
The display works, but gives erratic readings, the last digit jitters or the measurements jump to new figures unexpectedly.
There may be a poor earth (ground) connection. Both the NMS100, and the machine on which it is installed, must have proper earth (ground) connections.
There may be a problem with the encoder.
The unit does not respond to any key presses.
Disconnect the NMS100 from its power supply, wait 15 seconds and then reconnect.
`NO Sig' / `SIG FAIL' or `1.x' appears in the display.
This indicates that the unit is not receiving a proper signal from the encoder. · Check that the encoder connections are secure. · Check that there is no damage to the connectors or to the encoder. · Switch the NMS100 off and back on again.
Readings are incorrect.
· Check the Encoder Type to ensure it is correct. · Check the Radius / Diameter setting. The Diameter setting causes the axis to read double. · Check the Error Compensation factors. · If using the Segmented Error Compensation, verify the datum position. · Check that there is no damage to the encoder or its cable. · Check that the encoder is fixed firmly and aligned correctly, as described in the Spherosyn / t Microsyn Installation manual. · Check that there is no binding on the scale. With the scale brackets slightly loosened, you should t be able to slide the scale back and forth with minimal resistance. · If a Spherosyn scale is in use, check that the scale is not bent, by removing it and rolling it t on a flat surface.
If the solutions suggested above do not solve the problem, contact Newall for further instruction.
To swap encoders to trace a fault: 1. Check that the axis is set to the correct encoder types. 2. Disconnect the NMS100 power supply. 3. Disconnect the encoder from the malfunctioning axis and move to a working axis. 4. Reconnect the NMS100 power supply and turn on. If the fault stays with the same encoder, then the encoder is at fault. If the fault does not follow with the encoder the NMS100 is at fault.
Providing the machine has not been moved more than 6.3mm (0.25") for a Spherosyn encoder or 2.5mm (0.1") for a Microsyn encoder, switching the power off and back on again does not lose the datum position.
