Note
Siemens offers its mechatronic support service
Please contact your local Siemens office if you require mechatronic support regarding,
• the mechanical design of the machine
• the closed-loop control technology to be used
• the resolution and measuring accuracy of the encoder
• the optimum integration of the encoder into the mechanical structure.
When designing, constructing and optimizing your machine, we can support you with
measurement-based and computer-based analyses.
You can obtain additional information from your Siemens contact person, also refer to the
Internet link in the introduction under "Technical Support".
Encoder system
In the following text, encoder systems stand for angular measuring systems, rotary
encoders, encoders etc.
The encoder system has a range of different functions:
● Actual speed value encoder for closed-loop speed control
● Position encoder for closed-loop position control
● Rotor position encoder (commutation)
The encoder system is not included in the scope of delivery. Due to the wide range of
different applications, it is not possible to provide a comprehensive list of suitable encoders
here. A certain encoder type can be ideal for one application, but essentially unsuitable for
another application.
Preferred encoders are absolute angular encoders with DRIVE-CLiQ, EnDat interface or
incremental angular encoders with 1 V
