Technical Manual – SCH88BEX 3 Installation As the installation of the SCH88BEX may differ from location to location, it is not possible to give exact instructions on all aspects on how to install the encoder. Below are some general recommendations and procedures. The Installation Guide found on Scancons website should also be consulted.
SCH88BEX is connected as the first or the last device the switch for the termination resistors must be set to the “On” position. If the SCH88BEX is not connected as the first or the last device the switch for the termination resistors must be set to the “Off” position.

This possibility has not been implemented in the SCH88BEX as this will “lock” the encoder forever to a particular address and prevent it from future changes by the Change Station Address function.
This functionality conforms to the Profibus Profile. 3. Scancon 2.1 Multiturn. This is a 32-bit multiturn encoder that, besides all functions for the class 2 encoder, also has further functionality. It has the possibility to change the direction of rotation “on the fly”, Teach-In, Limit Switches and more.
This telegram can consist of two parts, the mandatory part according to the Profibus specifications (octet 1 to 8) and the user part (octet 9 and up). The length of the parameterization telegram for the SCH88BEX varies depending on which functionality is selected. Rev. 2.0 26 - August -2023 p.

The table also describes in which functionality the parameter is present. Notice that if class 2 is used all parameters from class 1 must be present and if Scancon 2.1 is used all parameters from class 1 and class 2 must be present ect.
The setting of this bit controls whether the position value is scaled with the parameters measuring units per revolution and total measuring range or for Scancon 2.1 to 3.0 (see below) other paremeters. Note that if the scaling function is disabled, the values of the scaling parameters are ignored regardless of their value.
Bit no. 6 – Activate Octet 26 This setting of this bit controls whether manufacturer specific parameters are activated. This is handled automatically if Scancon 2.1, 2.2 or 3.0 functionality is selected. 4.1.2 Octet no. 10-13 – Measuring Units per Revolution/Desired Measuring Units For Class 2 –...
0. Therefore, Total Measuring Range must not exceed the physical number of steps over one revolution. For Scancon 2.1, 2.2 or 3.0. The use of this double word (32-bit) depends on what is selected under Desired Measuring Units Select (see: 4.5.1).
Technical Manual – SCH88BEX Additional parameters for Scancon 2.1, 2.2 and 3.0. 4.1.5 Octet no. 26 – Operating Parameters 2 Bit no. 0 and 1 – Desired Measuring Units Select The settings of these bits select the Desired Measurement Units. It is used to select any required number of steps over 1 revolution, over the whole measuring range or over a part of the measuring range.

Bit no. 4 – Without Status Bits The setting of this bit controls whether the position data input is transmitted with or without status bits. This bit is only accessible with the Scancon 3.0 functionality. See later under 4.3: Data Exchange.
Bit no. 7 – Activate Octet 27 – 39 The setting of this bit controls whether octet 27 – 29 are activated. This is handled automatically when Scancon 2.1, 2.2 or 3.0 functionality is selected. 4.1.6 Octet no. 27-30 – Lower Limit Switch This double word (32-bit) is used for setting the value where the lower limit switch status bit is set.
The setting of this bit controls whether the encoder is a multi turn or single turn encoder . This is handled automatically if Scancon 2.1, 2.2 or 3.0 functionality is selected. Bit no. 4 and 5 – Time Base for Velocity The settings of these bits control the Time Base for Velocity.
The table also describes in which functionality the parameter will be present. Notice that if class 2 is used all parameters from class 1 will be present and if Scancon 2.0 is used all parameters from class 1 and class 2 will be present.

For Class 1 the Diagnostic message has a total length of 16 octet. For Class 2 it has a total length of 57 octets. For Scancon 2.1, 2.2 and 3.0 it, default, has a length of 57 octets, unless the parameter Shorter Diagnostic Select is set.
Bit 1 = 1 (on) – Supply voltage alarm Bit no. 2 – Current too High This alarm is not supported by the SCH88BEX and will therefore be sent as 0. Bit no. 3 – Commissioning Diagnostics This alarm is not supported by the SCH88BEX and will therefore be sent as 0.
Bit 1 = 1 (on) – Class 2 functionality supported Bit no. 2 – Commissioning Diagnostics Commissioning Diagnostics is not supported by the SCH88BEX and will therefore be sent as 0. Bit no. 3 – Scaling Function Status The setting of this bit indicates whether the scaling function is enabled.
4.2.8 Octet no. 18-19 – Supported Alarms This word (16-bit) will indicate the alarms that are supported by the SCH88BEX. Only bit 0 – 4 are used. The rest of the bits (bit 5 – 15) will be sent as 0.
Technical Manual – SCH88BEX Bit no. 4 – Memory Error This alarm is not supported by the SCH88BEX and will therefore be sent as 0. 4.2.9 Octet no. 20-21 – Warnings This word (16-bit) will indicate various warnings for the encoder. Only bits 0 – 6 are used. The rest of the bits (bit 7 –...
4.2.10 Octet no. 22-23 – Supported Warnings This word (16-bit) will indicate the warnings that are supported by the SCH88BEX. Only bits 0 – 6 are used. The rest of the bits (bit 7 – 15) will be sent as 0.
These two bytes will give the version of the Profibus Profile for Encoders that is supported by the SCH88BEX. The first byte (octet 24) gives the major version number and the second byte (octet 25) gives the minor version number. As an example 0x01 – 0x01 will give version 1.1.
4.2.18 Octet no. 48-57 – Encoder Serial Number The serial number is sent as an ASCII string of 10 bytes. For the SCH88BEX, the serial number is not used and will therefore be send as 10 times * (0x2A).
4.3.3 – Scancon 2.1 Multiturn For a Scancon 2.1 multiturn encoder there will be both output data and input data. The input data will be the process value that consists of 25 bits and a status block that consists of 7 bits. The output data will either be “don’t care”...
