Procedure for connecting encoders
Proceed as follows to connect the encoders:
1. Connect the cable to the encoders.
2. Open the front cover of the C230-2 and insert the Sub-D connectors (15-pin)
into sockets X3 to X6.
3. Lock the connector using the finger screws. Close the front cover.
Connecting cables available for encoders
The following connecting cables are available (see Fig. 6-3):
S Pre-assembled cable for external encoder or EXEs (for the connection of linear
position encoders)
S Pre-assembled cable for built-in encoder with 17-pin round connector
S Pre-assembled cable for absolute encoders (SSI)
S Pre-assembled cable for SIMODRIVE 611 analog closed-loop control module
1FK6 motors with resolver
S Pre-assembled cable for SIMODRIVE 611 universal with incremental shaft en-
coder interface
The incremental shaft encoder interface is used to emulate an incremental en-
coder. For this, the value for the actual position is recorded by the encoder con-
nected to the drive unit and transmitted to the C230-2 as an incremental count-
ing pulse.
The encoder supply provided at the C230-2 is not used. Instead of this, ensure
that there is a good earth connection between the C230-2 and the drive unit.
The connecting cables are available in a choice of lengths.
See Catalog NC Z or Catalog NC 60 or Catalog ST 70.
Actual value assignment
The assignment of actual values for axes 1 to 4 is fixed.
S The encoder for axis 1 must be connected to actual value input X3.
S The encoder for axis 2 must be connected to actual value input X4.
S The encoder for axis 3 must be connected to actual value input X5.
S The encoder for axis 4 must be connected to actual value input X6.
