PROFIBUS DP network. In case of any other usage as well as in case of modifications to the A3M60 Basic, e.g. due to opening the housing during mounting and electrical installation, or to the SICK software, any claims against SICK AG under the warranty will be rendered void.
The A3M60 Basic acquires the position of rotating axes and outputs the position in the form of a unique digital numeric value. The A3M60 Basic can be used as a singleturn encoder or multiturn encoder.
Operating Instructions A3M60 Basic Integration in the PROFIBUS The A3M60 Basic is a PROFIBUS peripheral device and is integrated in the PROFIBUS as a slave. The A3M60 Basic complies with the requirements for the PROFIBUS<DP protocol V0 as per EN 50 170<2 and the requirements for the encoder profile version 1.1 class 1 and class 2.
The time stamp is incremented in steps of 1 s. The value is given in a data word (2 bytes). After each power-up the time stamp is reset to zero. Functions for which parameters can be set The A3M60 Basic is configured using the configuration tool for a PLC (e.g. STEP7 for SIMATIC). 3.5.1...
