4.5Integrating additional encoders (optional)

4.5.1General 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 using 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 two encoders

The second encoder can be used at SIMOTION D410, for example, as:

●Machine encoder (second encoder)

●External encoder.

The external encoder can be used, for example, to measure an actual position value directly on a geared motor. If operating with a second encoder as machine encoder you can work with encoder changeover.

Configuring tasks

Encoders connected using PROFIBUS or PROFINET are configured only for SIMOTION.

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.Configure the encoder interface on the drive side (second encoder)

2.Configuring a second encoder for a TO axis in SIMOTION

3.Configuring an external encoder in SIMOTION

These steps in configuring are described in the next section.
