4.1.5 Encoder mode
Different protocols are used to transfer the encoder data between the encoder and the drive.
These protocols depend on which encoder is used.
The required encoder mode can be found in the technical documentation for the encoder.
4.1.6 Setting encoder parameters in the technology
Procedure
When you configure an axis or an external encoder, you set the encoder data in the relevant
dialog fields.
1. Select the encoder type, the encoder mode, and the measuring system.
Click "Data transfer from the drive" to transfer the correct encoder data from SINAMICS.
In this way you can ensure that the data is consistent between the drive and the
technology.
2. Click "Next".
