Hi,

I have been asked to look into option to handle absolute/incremental encoder in PCS7.

I am looking for Application Examples/Library/Guidelines?

Any suggestion?

Hi Microman,

You mean using the FM350-2 module?

See the following link: FM350-2 in PCS7 example

Regards Oreca

Hi,

Have you ever seen example for Absolute encoder being used for measuring the angle of a shaft turn?

Cheers

Good evening Microman,

Uhm, I don't know any examples. The only thing I have is the encoder handbook for absolute and increment encoders.

I will be happy to share it with you.. and automatically the rest of the forum

Maybe you'll find it useful?

Hi,

Thank you for the handbook. I just share what I have found. There is a little guidance in the Absolute Value Encoder with PROFIBUS-DP FS 17 (or higher) manual.

Thanks for sharing!

Hello,

First Please give us part numbers of modules you will use in your project.

We assumed that you will use ET-200M modules for Incremental Encoders.

Oreca give you application example for FM350-2

I think that this thread will answer a lot of question to you.

 Hello,

there is an example for FM351 but not for PCS7.

Actually FM351 is not released for PCS7.

And again, please give us the part number of the module you would like to use, and version of PCS7.

Look here for released modules for PCS7 V 8.1

Hi,

Actually the instrument was specified as PVM14 . 3rd Party, it is always recipe for disaster...

Anyways anyone have experience with this specific encoder, please share your experience!

I am looking forward to hearing from you!
