Interfaces
3.6 Onboard measuring system interface (C230-2, C240)
Types of encoder that can be connected
Both rotary (shaft encoders, angle measurement systems) and linear (linear encoder, linear
measurement systems) measuring systems can be used. These can be built on the
machine/system (incremental encoder) or integrated in the motor (rotor shaft angle encoder).
The following table gives you an overview of the encoders that can be connected and what
you should take into account here.

Note
If you operate drives via the PROFIBUS DP, you do not need to connect any encoders to
this interface. The encoders are connected directly to the drive.
