  • Page 354 Appendix A.6 Application Examples Configuring an encoder When configuring the encoder, you must select an encoder type that has the best possible fit to the real encoder. Precondition You have started to configure the drive. Procedure Proceed as follows to set an absolute encoder in STARTER: 1.
  • Page 355 Appendix A.6 Application Examples Adapting the encoder data After the configuration you may now adapt the encoder data. Preconditions ● You have now configured an absolute encoder. ● You have completely configured the drive. Procedure Proceed as follows to adapt the encoder data: 1.
  • Page 356 Appendix A.6 Application Examples 3. … 10. In the "Encoder data" screen form, adapt the settings corresponding to the data sheet of your encoder. The "Details" tab is used for application-specific settings, e.g. to invert the encoder signal. The fine resolution can be separately set for the process data Gx_XIST1 and Gx_XIST2. 2 bit fine resolution is practical for square wave encoders.

    Appendix A.6 Application Examples A.6.2.2 Create a reference for STARTERS If you have configured the inverter via GSDML, in STEP 7, you must create a reference of the inverter for STARTER, so that you can call up STARTER from STEP 7. This procedure is described using the example of a SINAMICS G120 with Control Unit CU240B-2 or CU240E-2.

    Appendix A.6 Application Examples A.6.4 Connecting fail-safe digital inputs The examples comply with PL d according to EN 13849-1 and SIL2 according to IEC 61508 for the case that all components are installed within one control cabinet. Figure A-8 Connecting a sensor, e.g. Emergency Stop mushroom push-button or limit switch You may connect emergency stop control devices in series because it is not possible for these devices to fail and be actuated at the same time.
