3.3.4  Encoder model 
The encoder object model defined in the encoder profile version 4.1 is implemented in 
the AFS60/AFM60 PROFINET; this profile describes the software architecture of the 
encoder. 
 
Figure 4: Encoder object model 
The following encoder object functions are supported by the AFS60/AFM60 PROFINET: 
  Alarm Queue (e.g. for the output of alarms) 
  Cyclic Data Exchange (e.g. for the output of the measured data) 
  Acyclic Data Exchange (e.g. for configuration) 
  Measuring Task (e.g. for the measurement of position and speed) 
3.3.5  Submodules 
The submodules 81 to 84 are used for the transmission of the cyclic data. The 
submodule 65,535 is used for the transmission of the acyclic data.
