5.4.2 Connecting a second encoder in SINAMICS
Introduction
Prepare your project as described in the "Commissioning (Page 15)" chapter of this
product information so that an appropriate HW Config hardware configuration and a
NetPro network configuration are present.
The steps that deviate from the "Commissioning" chapter start with the creation of the drive
and the selection of the encoder. These steps are described in the following section.
Procedure
1. Start manual configuration of the drive and open the "Encoder 2" tab in the
"Configuration" dialog.
2. Click "Encoder data" to specify the second encoder, which in our example is connected to
the drive spindle.
