7.23.2 Creating an ENCODER drive object
Creating/inserting an ENCODER drive object is described using a CU320-2 as an example.
In this example, the project is created OFFLINE using the STARTER commissioning tool.
In the project navigator, you can find the selection of the ENCODER drive object between
"Input/output components" and "Drives".
