Encoder as drive object
The configuration of an encoder as drive object (drive object DO encoder) has the advantage
that this encoder can be used independently of a configured drive (e.g. for acquisition of a
master value).
The configuration is performed by inserting an encoder via the project navigator.

Note
In the same way as for axes, a "DO encoder" can also be symbolically interconnected to a
"TO externalEncoder".
6.10.3 Additional encoders via PROFIBUS/PROFINET
Additional encoders can be connected via PROFIBUS or PROFINET. The following options
are available for the encoder integration.
● Encoder interconnection using a PROFIdrive message frame (encoder with message
frame type 81 and 83)
● Encoder interface as a direct value in the I/O area.
