System compatibility
Compatibility description: 323897-01 belongs to HEIDENHAIN encoder accessory family. Compatible with HEIDENHAIN incremental 1Vpp and EnDat absolute encoders with M23 connectors. Suitable for Fives Giddings & Lewis PIC900 CNC heavy boring mill system.
Function
Function description: 323897-01 is prefabricated shielded encoder cable manufactured by HEIDENHAIN. It connects linear scale read head or rotary encoder to interpolation unit or servo drive, delivering DC power and position feedback signals. Copper braid shielding isolates weak measuring signals from electromagnetic noise generated by high-power servo motors. PUR outer jacket resists cutting coolant, oil mist and metal chips in machine workshop environment. It is encoder feedback wiring spare for heavy CNC boring mills.
Installation
Installation steps: Follow lockout/tagout safety procedure before installation. Cut off encoder and CNC controller 5VDC power. Disconnect old cable connectors at encoder and electronics end. Route 323897-01 separately from high-current servo power cables. Secure cable clamps and connectors. Check insulation resistance and shield grounding. Restore power, verify encoder communication and axis position stability.
Interface
Interface list: M23 flange connectors on both ends, 5VDC power and signal terminals for HEIDENHAIN 323897-01.
Diagnostic
Troubleshooting: No encoder signal: Check 5VDC supply, internal wire breakage or connector pin damage. Intermittent position fault: Poor shield grounding, connector corrosion or cable insulation aging. Signal amplitude drop: Excessive bending damage to internal conductors or shield fracture.
