The PROFdrive Telegram 4 contains actor values and two values from different encoders.
The first sensor value comes from the encoder on the motor. The second sensor value is
provided by an additional encoder on the machine.
The machine encoder is connected directly to a SINAMICS CU, and the CU provides both
sensor values within the Telegram 4.
