Encoders

Note
Siemens offers its mechatronic support service
Contact your local Siemens office if you require mechatronic support with the following:
• Mechanical design of the machine
• Closed-loop control technology to be used
• Resolution and measuring accuracy of the encoder
• Optimum integration of the encoder into the mechanical structure.
Siemens will support you with dimensioning, designing and optimizing your machine by
means of measurement-based and computer-based analyses.
You can obtain additional information from your Siemens contacts. You will find the Internet
link on "Technical Support" in the "Introduction".
Encoder system
In the following, encoder system stands for position measuring systems, position encoders,
encoders etc.
The encoder system has a range of different functions:
● Velocity actual value encoder for the velocity control
● Position encoder for closed-loop position control
● Pole position encoder (commutation)
The encoder system is not included in the scope of supply. Due to the wide range of different
applications, it is not possible to provide a comprehensive list of suitable encoders here.
A certain encoder type can be optimum for one application, but essentially unsuitable for
another application.
Absolute position encoders with DRIVE-CLiQ, EnDat interface or incremental position
encoders with 1 V
