AMT58x-PB Profibus®
6. Profibus® interface
Datalogic units are slave devices and comply with "Profibus-DP
Profile for Encoders"; they can be set as Class 1, Class 2 or Class
2(+VEL) devices (see section "6.2 Classes of the Device profile
Errore. L'origine riferimento non è stata trovata.").
For any omitted information refer to the official Profibus website
www.profibus.com.

6.1 GSD file

Profibus encoders are supplied with their own GSD file AMT58-xxx-
16x14-FBUS-PB.GSD (see enclosed documentation or click
www.datalogic.com). GSD file has to be installed on your Profibus
master device.

6.2 Classes of the Device profile

Encoder class must be set when configuring the device.
Class 1 allows basic functions of the device and should be used for:
 sending the position value (see parameter
Position value);
 changing the counting direction (see parameter
Code sequence);
 setting the preset value (see parameter
Preset value).
Class 2 allows to use Class 1 functions and extended functions such
as:
 scaling function (see
Scaling function control);
 diagnostic type (see parameter
Errore. L'origine riferimento
non è stata trovata.).
Class 2(+VEL) allows to use Class 2 functions and extended
functions such as:
transmission of velocity value (see parameter Errore. L'origine
riferimento non è stata trovata.Position and velocity values);
 velocity measure unit (see parameter
Velocity measure unit).
