Configuring a second encoder for a TO axis in SIMOTION

Prerequisites
● You have configured a drive with two encoders as specified in Section Configuring a
● The set message frame supports the transmission of two encoder values.
● The configuration of the PROFIdrive message frames has been aligned with HW Config.
Procedure
1. In the Project Navigator, open the Axis Wizard of the axis.
2. In the "Drive Assignment" dialog box, select the same message frame that you have
3. Complete the Axis Wizard session.
You have configured a second encoder for an axis TO in SIMOTION. The set message
frame type now allows you to use the value of a second encoder.
4.8.4

Configuring external encoders in SIMOTION

An external encoder allows you to determine the position values of a drive without an
associated axis.
Prerequisite
Encoder using PROFIBUS/PROFINET
You have used HW Config to configure an encoder on the PROFIBUS or PROFINET. Two
different possibilities are available for the encoder connection:
● Encoder interconnection using a PROFIdrive message frame (encoder with message
● Encoder interface as a direct value in the I/O area
Detailed information can be found in the
Encoder
Encoder on the drive
You have created a drive with two encoders and the corresponding axis. A
PROFIdrive message frame, which supports the transfer of 2 encoder values, must be
configured for the axis. The second encoder value should be used as the "external encoder".
This procedure is described below.
