● The closed-loop velocity and position control requires that the encoder is integrated into
the mechanical structure with the highest possible stiffness and lowest possible vibration.
● Using the encoder as a position measuring system for the machine precision requires that
the encoder is connected as close as possible to the process
In addition to selecting a suitable encoder, the performance of the machine axis is essentially
determined by the integration into the overall mechanical system.
As a consequence, a general recommendation for integrating the encoder cannot be given
for all encoder types and axis concepts.
To ensure that the encoder is optimally integrated into the mechanical system, Siemens
offers its "Mechatronic Support" service (see Catalog). For additional information, please
contact your local Siemens office. You can find the "Technical Support" Internet link in
Chapter "Introduction".
Three options for integrating an encoder are shown as example in the following example.
