Selecting a motor encoder (2)
Note
If required, you can configure a second or third encoder in the "Encoder" dialog. You can
transmit a maximum of 2 encoder values to SIMOTION via the axis message frame. In
the case of motors with a DRIVE-CLiQ interface, the motor encoder is identified
automatically. It is not necessary to enter encoder data in such cases (the box for
selecting Encoder 1 is grayed out and, therefore, inactive).
The communication for the control of the SINAMICS drive is configured in the following
dialog box. We recommend that the communications settings are performed automatically by
the engineering system.
You can also perform the settings for the process data exchange manually by selecting
"User-defined". Information about the manual setting options can be found in the online help
and in the manuals for the SINAMICS S120 drive system.
