7.8 Linking an additional encoder (optional)
7.8.1
General information
SIMOTION D410-2 features a DRIVE-CLiQ X100 interface for connecting an encoder.
SIMOTION D410-2 provides the option of integrating and configuring further encoders in
addition to the motor encoder.
The following encoders are supported for operation with SIMOTION D410-2:
● Encoders with a DRIVE-CLiQ interface
● Encoders connected to SIMOTION D410-2 or CUA32 via the onboard encoder interface
(X23)
● Encoders connected to SIMOTION D410-2 using an SMx module
● Encoders connected using PROFIBUS or PROFINET
Configuring additional encoders
The second encoder can be used at SIMOTION D410-2, for example, as:
● A machine encoder (second encoder = direct measuring system).
A direct measuring system measures the technological parameter directly, i.e. without the
interference of influences such as torsion, backlash, slip, etc. This may enable improved
smoothing of mechanical influences. If you use a second encoder as a machine encoder,
you can work with the encoder changeover function.
● An external encoder.
You can use the external encoder for recording an external master value, for example.
● Encoder for hydraulic axes
● Encoders for the implementation of cam controllers
Configuring tasks
Encoders connected via PROFIBUS/PROFINET are only configured in SIMOTION.
Encoders connected using SMx, DRIVE-CLiQ or the onboard encoder interface must be
configured on the drive side (SINAMICS Integrated) and in SIMOTION.
Configure this additional encoder on drive side (SINAMICS Integrated) and in SIMOTION:
1. Configuring additional encoders on the drive (Page 200)
2. Connecting additional encoders via PROFIBUS/PROFINET (Page 201)
These steps in configuring are described in the next section.
