Additional Encoders Via Profibus/Profinet - Siemens SIMOTION D4 5-2 Series Commissioning And Hardware Installation Manual

6.10 Linking an additional encoder (optional)
Encoder as drive object
The configuration of an encoder as drive object (drive object DO encoder) has the advantage
that this encoder can be used independently of a configured drive (e.g. for acquisition of a
master value).
The configuration is performed by inserting an encoder via the project navigator.

Note
In the same way as for axes, a "DO encoder" can also be symbolically interconnected to a
"TO externalEncoder".

Additional encoders via PROFIBUS/PROFINET

Additional encoders can be connected via PROFIBUS or PROFINET. The following options
are available for the encoder integration.
● Encoder interconnection using a PROFIdrive message frame (encoder with message
● Encoder interface as a direct value in the I/O area.
