Siemens SINAMICS S120 Commissioning Manual page 121

Available measuring systems (encoder)
The following encoder types are supported in Startdrive:
● DRIVE-CLiQ encoder
These encoders are parameterized when downloading - and after an upload, are
correctly displayed.
● SIN/COS encoders
Incremental encoders that supply a sinusoidal/cosinusoidal type signal are also available
with SSI protocol.
● HTL/TTL encoders
Incremental encoders, which supply a square wave pattern, are also available with SSI
protocol.
● Resolvers
Rotary position encoders.
● EnDat 2.1
Absolute encoders, which are controlled via the ENDAT 2.1 protocol.
● SSI encoder
Absolute encoders, which are controlled via the SSI protocol.
● Distance-coded zero marks
Zero marks are used when homing is not possible or accepted.
Note
Encoders from the hardware catalog
All of the encoders, which are listed in the hardware catalog, no longer have to be
parameterized, as they are already preassigned the appropriate settings.
For user-defined encoders (third-party encoders), the parameters must be entered as
subsequently described.
Detailed information on the encoders is provided in the Appendix of this manual in Section
"Overview of measuring systems / encoders (Page 412)".
