2.1 Interface Description

Interface diagram of multi-turn encoder

multi-turn encoder uses high-speed Ethernet as the interface communication bus. The
application of high-speed Ethernet enables the encoder to provide higher real-time performance
than the traditional field bus in operation, and realizes the complete Profinet communication
protocol, which can supply the fully support for the Profinet master station.

4. Using examples

4.1 Install Encoder GSDML file

IIn this section, according to the TIA Portal V14 software, click “Manage General Station Description
Files” in the “Options” drop-down menu of the software to open the dialog box, find the path of the
GSDML file in the source path, and select the GSDML file in the content of imported path, click the
"Install" button. As shown below:

4.2 Encoder Configuration

This section gives the user a comprehensive understanding of the actual use of the Profinet encoder
through a practical operation of the configuration connection. In this example, the Profinet encoder of
ELCO is used as the Profinet IO slave to connect to the Siemens s7-1500PLC, and the configuration
and debugging are carried out through the TIA Portal V14 software on the PC. Below we will introduce
the specific software configuration and debugging process through the picture form.

1）Device connection
The Port1 or Port2 of the Profinet encoder is connected to a network port of the s7-1500PLC via a
standard Profinet cable. The other port of the s7-1500PLC is connected to the PC port with TIA Portal
V14 software. Connect the power cord of the encoder and PLC module to the DC +24V power output.

2）Add new equipment
Double-click "Add New Device" in the "Project" menu on the left side of the TIA Portal V14 software to
select the PLC with the same model and version, and click the "Add" button. As shown below:

In the "Other Field Devices" of the "Hardware Catalog" menu which is on the right side of the TIA Portal
V14 software, find the name of the encoder device you want to add and drag it into the network view.
As shown below:

Profinet ENCODER 8/16

3）Configuration setting
Click the "Unallocated" button on the encoder device block and click "PLC_1 PROFINET interface_1"
in the pop-up dialog box. The PLC and the encoder are automatically connected. As shown below:

Double-click the encoder device to enter the device view interface. As shown in the following figure,
click the module drop-down arrow in the in the hardware catalog on the right side of the software,
and then double-click to select the Multi-turn Absolute Encoder module. As shown below:

Profinet ENCODER 9/16

Double-click the PLC and encoder device block to set the IP address and subnet mask in the general
dialog box. The IP address of the encoder defaults to 192.168.20.2, ensuring that the PLC, encoder,
and PC are in the same LAN.
The IP address of the PLC is set as shown below:

The IP address of the encoder is set as shown below:

Profinet ENCODER 10/16

The converted name remains the same as the Profinet device mane.

If the names are inconsistent, communication cannot be established. The modification method is as
follows. Find the encoder by online access, select "online & diagnostics" in the encoder submenu,
and select "Assign IP address" and "Assign PROFINET device name" in Functions.

4.4 Use of watch and force tables

Double-click "Add New Monitoring Table" in the drop-down menu of "Watch and force table" on the left
side of TIA Portal V14 software, and set the encoder data input and output address in the pop-up window.
The currently configured telegram is Multiturns Absolute Encoder, so the real-time position data input
address is ID0, value setting is Q0.7, and the preset value setting bit is QD0.
