Overview

Available measuring systems (encoders)
The following encoder types are supported:
● DRIVE-CLiQ encoder
These encoders are parameterized when downloading - and after an upload, are
correctly displayed.
● SIN/COS encoders (Page 413)
Incremental encoders that supply a sinusoidal/cosinusoidal type signal are also available
with SSI protocol.
● HTL/TTL encoders (Page 416)
Incremental encoders that supply a square wave pattern are also available with SSI
protocol.
● Resolver (Page 419)
Rotary position encoders.
● ENDAT 2.1 (Page 422)
Absolute encoders that are controlled via the ENDAT 2.1 protocol.
● SSI Encoder (Page 423)
Absolute encoders, which are controlled via the SSI protocol.
● Distance-coded Zero Marks (Page 429)
These are used when homing is not possible or acceptable.
Note
Encoders from the hardware catalog
All encoders, which are listed in the hardware catalog, no longer have to be parameterized
as they are already preassigned the appropriate settings.
Parameters must be entered for user-defined encoders (third-party encoders) as described
below.
