In addition to the SIMOLINK functionality described above which is
incorporated in both encoder models, the SLE-DP variant has been
expanded by a PROFIBUS interface which supports data transmission
rates of up to 12 Mbaud. The SLE-DP can be installed as a compatible
alternative to the SLE since it features the same built-on
parameterization device. Only its housing is wider than that of the SLE
variant.
The SLE-DP is a passive PROFIBUS-DP slave with 2 bytes each of
output and input data which must be processed as consistent data (i.e.
word processing permitted only on transfer) and transmitted cyclically.
The encoder can be activated and deactivated via its PROFIBUS
interface. The same interface can be used to change the SIMOLINK
receive address and receive channel, allowing automatic switchover
between setpoints from different sources.
