shaft position over up to 16384 revolutions (14
bits). The position value is calculated in an integrated
microprocessor and transmitted over the Profibus.
1.2 Profibus technology
PROFIBUS is an international, open, non-
proprietary fieldbus standard which is defined in
the international standards EN 50170 and EN
50254. There are three different versions: Profibus
DP, Profibus-FMS and Profibus-PA. absolute
encoders are designed for the DP version. They
support all usual baud rates up to 12 MBaud.
Besides manufacturer-specific functions, the
devices support the classes 1 and 2 according to
the Profile for Absolute Encoders (this device
profile can be ordered under part number 3.062
from the “Profibus Nutzeroganisation”). Further
information about profibus (functionality,
manufacturer, products), standards and device
profiles are available from the PNO: Profibus Nutzerorganisation (PNO)
