Assignment of the equivalent zero mark signal to the digital input of the SINAMICS 
For homing to an external zero mark with axes on the PROFIBUS, the external zero mark 
must be configured as digital input on the drive. This requires that the configuration of the 
drive specifies which internal digital input of the CU320 is to be used to fetch the equivalent 
zero mark signal. 
Only the fast digital inputs can be used as internal digital inputs of the CU320 for fetching the 
equivalent zero mark signal: 
DI/DO 9  X122.8 
DI/DO 10  X122.10 
DI/DO 11  X122.11 
DI/DO 13  X132.8 
DI/DO 14  X132.10 
DI/DO 15  X132.11 
To parameterize the CU 320 input for fetching the equivalent zero mark signal, switch in the 
S7T Config project navigator to the appropriate drive. In the example shown here, to the 
dialog box: "\Technology\SINAMICS_S120\Drives\SERVO_02. Start the expert list with a 
right mouse click on the drive and selecting Expert > Expert List in the submenu. Select the 
"p495 [0] equivalent zero mark input terminal encoder 1" parameter in the expert list and 
interconnect the parameter with the DI/DO 9 (X122.8) (1) input. 
A different equivalent encoder can also be selected for the assignment of the zero mark 
input.

P495[1]  Encoder 2 
P495[2]  Encoder 3
