Electronic type plate
Encoders with a DRIVE-CLiQ interface have an electronic type plate.
The electronic type plate includes the setting data of the associated motor and the encoder
data.
Depending on the software being used, the electronic type plate data (encoder data) can be
automatically saved to the system card (CF card).
More detailed information is provided in Chapter "How do you backup the data of the
electronic type plate? (Page 45)".
2.3
Different encoder replacement types
You have various options when it comes to replacing the encoder.
● We recommend replacement version 1.
From Siemens service, you order a replacement encoder with the electronic type plate
specifically programmed for your motor.
The encoder contains all of the motor data loaded in the factory. You only have to
mechanically replace the encoder and your system is ready to operate again.
The ordering information is provided in Chapter " How do you order a replacement
encoder? (Page 29)".
Note
Always replace the encoder as a complete component (including the Sensor Module).
Overview of the replacement versions
*
The encoder contains the motor data (an electronic type plate).
