Encoder evaluation
General information
The SINAMICS DC MASTER can evaluate speed/position encoders.
Two encoders can be evaluated simultaneously. Encoder 1 is connected to connector X177
on the CUD. Encoder 2 is connected to an encoder module SMC10 or an encoder module
SMC30, which is connected via DRIVE-CLiQ with the CUD.
Encoder 1 is often referred to as the motor encoder as it is normally attached directly to the
motor.
Encoder 2 is often referred to as the load encoder as it is normally attached directly to the
load.

The encoder evaluation determines the current actual speed value and the actual position
value for both encoders. (See function diagrams 4704, 4710 and 4711 in the SINAMICS
DCM List Manual.)
