7.8.2 Configuring additional encoders on the drive
The following options are available for configuring additional encoders on the drive:
●
Configuration of a second encoder on the drive
● Configuration of an encoder as drive object (as of SINAMICS firmware V4.3)
Configuring a second encoder on the drive
The configuration of a second encoder on the drive is useful when the second encoder value
is also to be used for this drive (e.g. motor or machine encoder). Note that a maximum of only
two encoder values can be transferred via PROFIdrive message frames.
In principle, the second encoder value can be freely used (e.g. for acquisition of an external
master value), however the use of an encoder as a separate drive object (drive object
DO encoder) is preferable because of the clear functional separation.

Configuring an 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.
