A detailed comparison of "local" and "global" measuring inputs as well as an overview of
which modules support local or global measuring inputs can be found in Chapter Configuring
drive-related I/Os (without symbolic assignment) (Page 213) in the appendix.
Procedure
If a global measuring input is selected, it must be assigned a hardware input.
To do this, open the assignment dialog box via
Note
Only those I/Os are displayed that have the appropriate measuring input functionality (MI_xx
[channel name, terminal number]). If no suitable I/Os are displayed, you must first configure
the I/Os (I/O must be configured as "measuring input")

Explanation
Compared with the drive-related local measuring inputs, global measuring
inputs have extended functionality and also support a symbolic
configuration.
They are therefore set by default
The drive-related local measuring inputs are configured via drive
parameters, see Chapter Configuring drive-related I/Os (without symbolic
assignment) (Page 213) in the appendix
Through the configuration of a listening measuring input, measuring can be
performed simultaneously on several axes or external encoders with one
measuring input. Detailed information can be found in the
