Procedure
Proceed as follows to insert and specify an encoder in your device configuration:
1. Open "Measuring systems" in the hardware catalog.
One of the following measuring systems can be selected:
2. Select the unspecified encoder in the device overview.
Figure 4-32
3. Drag the unspecified encoder to the lower area of the Motor Module.
An encoder and a Sensor Module are created.
4. Click the unspecified encoder in the device view.
5. Open the Inspector window if it has still not been opened or displayed.
6. In the Inspector window, select entry "Measuring system- Selection - ...".
7. Select the required encoder in the "Measuring system - Selection - ..." list.
The data of the selected encoder are assigned to the unspecified encoder. The white
area turns dark gray.
Further, a Sensor Module - encoder evaluation is also inserted.
Result
The encoder is inserted and specified.
Adding additional encoders
If you require additional encoders for your device configuration, then you can configure these
in the same way. These encoders are then normally used as machine encoders.
