ENCODER Profile
PROFINET , PROFIBUS , PROFIdrive/Drives
Description:
A profile always provides an interoperable application interface for the user of the technology. A profile does not define the device connected via this interface!

PROFIBUS (DP-V1, DP-V2) and PROFINET Encoders: The PROFIBUS and PROFINET profile for Encoders, version 4, is a further development of the PROFIBUS Profile for DPV2 encoders, version 3.1. The actual version 4.2 comprises all the encoder functionality from its former profile version 4.1 and additionally also the definitions for non isochronous encoders, originally defined in Encoder Profile V1.1. Also starting from Encoder Profile version 4.2, definitions for safe encoder values transmitted via PROFIsafe are included.
It is strongly recommended to use this version for new product developments.
