Frame number
Reference velocity / reference speed for the velocity /
speed (NSET), which is transmitted as a percentage
value
Maximum value for the setpoint speed of the drive
(NSET)
(PROFIdrive: MaxSpeed ≤ 2 × ReferenceSpeed
Analog setpoint: MaxSpeed ≤ 1.17 × ReferenceSpeed)
Frame number
Encoder system linear or rotary
Encoder type, incremental, absolute or cyclically abso-
lute
Increments per revolution for rotary encoder
Number of differentiable encoder revolutions for a multi-
turn absolute value encoder
Resolution for linear encoder
The grid spacing corresponds to the interval between
two marks.
Number of bits for fine resolution XIST1 (cyclic actual
encoder value)
Number of bits for fine resolution XIST2 (absolute value
of the encoder)
