encoder can only be measured on a double-axis module via the measuring input for Axis
B. As a result, Axis B is no longer available for controlling an axis.
If you use the direct measuring system, you must select a PROFIBUS message frame
that contains a second encoder. In the technology CPU, you can assign this encoder for
the position control or create an external encoder that accesses this actual value.
