Application Class Definition; Application Class 3; Application Class 4 - Datalogic AMT58 Series Manual

APPLICATION CLASS DEFINITION

The encoder supports two application classes: Class 3 and Class 4. A number of manda-
tory functions are specified for each application class, in addition all optional functions
must be recognized by the encoder and handled so that the controller is able to deter-
mine whether an optional function is supported.
NOTE

Application Class 3

Encoder with base mode parameter access and limited parametrization of the encoder
functionality. Isochronous mode is not supported.

Application Class 4

Encoder with scaling, preset, isochronous mode and base mode parameter access. A
Class 4 configured encoder fully supports all functionalities.
NOTE
There is no relation between the Encoder application classes and the appli-
cation classes defined in the PROFIdrive profile.
Datalogic encoders fulfill the requirements of CLASS 4.
