Dear experts,

For one of my projects I need to evaluate the encoder signals as fast as possible, preferably <1 ms. Does Siemens have a high speed encoder interface card?

While searching through the forum, figured out that encoder signal can be directly connected to S7-1200. Is it possible to evaluate the speed signal every ms or even faster using this configuration? https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109742346

 Any other options Siemens offer to suits the purpose my project demands?

In S7-1500C you have onboard HSCs and a cyclic interrupt @ 500 us.

 Would you mind sharing some more Information or an example? Thanks!

I do not have any example of such a solution. What information do you still require?

 The examples in the link can get you started. Just go through the first one to learn how to configure HSC. Other than that, post the details of your system and a brief description of what you want to do, you will get detailed replies.

Version of TIA

Firmware version of S7-1200

Type of encoder, specification or link to datasheet.

What you want to do, measure speed, positioning, etc.
