Note
In the same way as for axes, a "DO encoder" can also be symbolically interconnected to a "TO
externalEncoder".
7.8.3
Connecting additional encoders via PROFIBUS/PROFINET
Options
With regard to encoder integration, further encoders can also be connected via PROFIBUS or
PROFINET. The following options are available:
● Encoder interconnection using a PROFIdrive message frame (encoder with message frame
type 81 and 83)
● Encoder interface as a direct value in the I/O area.
