5.8 Integrating additional encoders (optional)
5.8.1 General information
SIMOTION D410 provides the option of integrating and configuring further encoders in addition
to the motor encoder.
The following encoders are supported for operation with SIMOTION D410:
● Encoders with DRIVE-CLiQ interface
● Encoders connected to SIMOTION D410 via the onboard encoder interface (X23)
● Encoders connected to SIMOTION D410 using an SMx module
● Encoders connected using PROFIBUS or PROFINET
Prerequisite
SIMOTION D410 features a DRIVE-CLiQ X100 interface for connecting an encoder. An
additional encoder can be connected, for example, using the on-board encoder interface (X23).
Configuring additional encoders
The second encoder can be used at SIMOTION D410, for example, as:
● A machine encoder (second encoder = direct measuring system)
A direct measuring system measures the technological parameter directly, i.e. without the
interference of influences such as torsion, backlash, slip, etc.
This may enable improved smoothing of mechanical influences. If you use a second
encoder as a machine encoder, you can work with the encoder changeover function.
● An external encoder
You can use the external encoder for recording an external master value, for example.
Configuring tasks
Encoders connected via PROFIBUS or PROFINET are configured for SIMOTION only.
Encoders connected using SMx, DRIVE-CLiQ or the onboard encoder interface, must be
configured for the drive (SINAMICS Integrated) and SIMOTION.
Configure this additional encoder on drive side (SINAMICS Integrated) and in SIMOTION:
1. For information on configuring further encoders on the drive, refer to section Configuring
additional encoders on the drive (Page 126)
2. For connecting further encoders using PROFIBUS / PROFINET, refer to section
Connecting additional encoders via PROFIBUS/PROFINET (Page 126)
These steps in configuring are described in the next section.
