Configuring additional encoders on the drive

Second encoder on the drive
The configuration of a second encoder on the drive is useful when the second encoder value
is also to be used for this drive (e.g. motor or machine encoder). Note that a maximum of only
two encoder values can be transferred via PROFIdrive message frames.
In principle the second encoder value can be used for any purpose (such as for recording an
external master value via the technology object "External encoder").

Connecting additional encoders via PROFIBUS/PROFINET

Additional encoders for encoder integration can also be connected via PROFIBUS or
PROFINET. The following options are available:
● Encoder interconnection using a PROFIdrive message frame (encoder with message frame
● Encoder interface as a direct value in the I/O area
