Measuring-system monitoring (systems with PROFIBUS drives)
The NC has no direct access to the measuring-system hardware for systems with PROFIBUS drives and
therefore measuring-system monitoring is mainly performed by the drive software.

Encoder-limit-frequency monitoring
In the case of systems with PROFIBUS drives, encoder-limit-frequency monitoring is also performed in the NCK.
Zero-mark monitoring
PROFIBUS drives with incremental encoders
Zero-mark monitoring is performed by the drive software.
PROFIBUS drives with absolute encoders
The drive software performs the monitoring function, while the plausibility check is carried out in the NCK (as for
SIMODRIVE 611D systems).
