The following measuring input types are available:

Measuring input types
Measuring input types Explanation
Standard (global
measuring input)
Compared with the drive-related local measuring inputs, global measuring
inputs have extended functionality and also support a symbolic
configuration.
They are therefore set by default
Drive-related (local
measuring input)
The drive-related local measuring inputs are configured via drive
parameters, see Chapter Configuring drive-related I/Os (without symbolic
assignment) (Page 213) in the appendix
Listening measuring
input
Through the configuration of a listening measuring input, measuring can be
performed simultaneously on several axes or external encoders with one
measuring input. Detailed information can be found in the
SIMOTION
Motion Control Output Cams and Measuring Inputs
Function Manual.
A detailed comparison of "local" and "global" measuring inputs as well as an overview of
which modules support local or global measuring inputs can be found in Chapter Configuring
drive-related I/Os (without symbolic assignment) (Page 213) in the appendix.
Procedure
If a global measuring input is selected, it must be assigned a hardware input.
To do this, open the assignment dialog box via
and select a free (i.e. not yet used) I/O.
Note
Only those I/Os are displayed that have the appropriate measuring input functionality (MI_xx
[channel name, terminal number]). If no suitable I/Os are displayed, you must first configure
the I/Os (I/O must be configured as "measuring input")
