1. Introduction
1.1. Scope of delivery
Please check the delivery upon completeness prior to commissioning.
Depending on encoder configuration and part number the delivery may include:
Basic encoder with PROFINET bus cover
CD with GSDML file and manual (also available as download in the Internet at www.baumer.com)
Shaft encoders
GSDML-File
The GSDML-File is the same for all products mentioned above.
Please see 4.1 “Importing the GSDML file”.
Commissioning
The encoder must be initialized and mounted only by a qualified expert.
Observe the operating instructions of the machine manufacturer.
Safety instructions
Check all electrical connections prior to commissioning of the equipment.
If mounting, electrical connections or any other work performed at the encoder and the equipment is not
correctly executed this can result in malfunction or failure of the encoder.
Corresponding safety precautions must be provided and observed to exclude any risk of personal injury,
damage to material or operating equipment as a result of encoder failure or malfunction.
Encoders must not be operated outside the specified limited values (see further documentation).
Failure to observe these safety instructions can result in malfunctions, material damage or personal injury.
Mounting
Avoid impacts or shocks on housing and shaft/end shaft.
Hollow shaft encoder: Open clamping ring completely before mounting the encoder
Avoid any twist or torsion on the housing.
Shaft encoders: never make rigid connections between encoder shaft and drive shaft.
Do not open the encoder or proceed any mechanical modifications.
Shaft, ball bearings, glass disc or electronic components can be damaged thereby and a safe and reliable
operation is no longer ensured.
Electrical commissioning
Do not proceed any electrical modifications at the encoder.
Do not proceed any wiring work while encoder is live.
Never plug or unplug connector while encoder is live (the bus cover however may be removed or docked
to the basic encoder when live).
Ensure that the entire system is installed in line with EMC/EMI requirements. Operating environment and
wiring have an impact on the electromagnetic compatibility of the encoder. Install encoder and supply
cables separately or far away from sources with high emitted interference (frequency converters,
contactors, etc.).
When working with consumers with high emitted interference provide separate encoder supply voltage.
Completely shield encoder housing and connecting cables.
Connect encoder to protective earth (PE) using shielded cables. The braided shield must be connected to
the cable gland or connector. Ideally, aim at dual connection to protective earth (PE), i.e. housing by
mechanical assembly and cable shield by the downstream devices. In case of earth loop problems, earth
at least on one side.
Failure to observe these instructions can result in malfunctions, material damage or personal injury!

There is no need to proceed any manual settings inside the bus cover. PROFINET does not require setting a
node ID and terminating resistor like Profibus. All address parameters are configured by the engineering tool
(e.g. Siemens® Step7®).

The GSDML file is either supplied on a CD or available for download at www.baumer.com / „Downloads“
Software. Search for the term „Profinet“. Download the zip archive „BMxx Beschreibungsdateien PROFINET“.
The following GSDML file versions apply:
The import operation is performed by Step7 ® software in the hardware window (HW Config, „Options – Install
GSD File…“). As a prior step it may be necessary to close the actual hardware project („Station - close“) to
enable successful import. Based on the default settings, any change is configured as described below. The
GSDML file itself is not modified.
In the following dialogue please select the directory including the GSDML file. Mark the file on screen. „Close”
will finalize the operation. The same directory also includes the corresponding Bitmap file providing a small
encoder image in the engineering tool. This file is automatically installed in parallel.
Use the mouse again to drag encoder I/O module e.g. "Encoder data 32 bit EA + 32 bit" from the right out of
the hardware catalog to plug-in position 1 of the module window at left below in the hardware catalog.
Automatic name assignment runs as soon as the installed encoder is accessed in the network.
The MAC address serves as a unique identifier. When clicking the button „Flash“ the highlighted device will
flash its status-LED so it can be found easily amongst other devices.
A double-click on the desired line (here: encoder “encoder01”) opens the window “Edit Ethernet Node”
Enter the new name required for configuration in line „Device name“. Click “Assign name” to execute. After
this, the encoder will immediately be recognized with this name in the PROFINET Network.
Enter the Domain-Management by right-clicking the PROFINET bus rail in the Hardware window of Step7
software.
The screen shot below shows the name of the sync domain and the currently selected send clock. The send
clock is common to the controller and all devices who are members of this sync domain. It is one of the key
factors for overall performance of the PROFINET System.
Topology planning is not mandatory, but where implemented (e.g. for retrieving feature „Support device
replacement without exchangeable medium”), make sure ports P1/P2 are correctly assigned as projected.
Click on the encoder symbol in HW config of Step7 to select the encoder. Then double-click on module
“encoder data 32 bit I/O (slot 1) at left below, opening the properties window with tab “Addresses”.
Enter the start address of the respective address range or accept the system’s proposal. Identical or
overlapping addresses for input and output are possible. Make sure that the address ranges are located
inside the cyclically updated process image “OB1 PI” of the main program (non-isochronous).
The „Synchronization“-Tab shows the assignment to a certain sync domain. Realtime (RT) Class1 Mode is
„not synchronized“. Set the synchronization role accordingly.
In „RT class“, choose between „RT“ or „IRT“. When „IRT“ is selected, the „IRT option“ offers „High Flexibility“
(IRT Class2) or „High Performance“ (IRT Class3). Settings have to comply with those taken for the controller.
Properties Tab „IO Cycle“, area „Update Time“ offers settings for the requested Update Time. In relation to
the send clock a reduction ratio „Factor“ applies. In case of a reduction ratio the encoder will not update and
send its position value each send clock cycle, but only every 2nd, 4th or 8th cycle. Not every application
needs being updated at the high send clock rate. At a high bus load this reduction may save bandwidth.
Applicable factors may vary with the real time class and send clock and are offered in the drop down area.
Topology planning is not mandatory, but where implemented (e.g. for retrieving feature „Support device
replacement without exchangeable medium), make sure ports P1/P2 are correctly assigned as projected.

Applicable factors may vary with the real time class and send clock and are offered in the drop down area.
In area „isochronous Mode“, option „Assign IO device in isochronous mode“ select the assignment to the
isochronous system function OB61.
Enter Topology Planning e.g. by right-clicking the PROFINET bus rail in the Hardware window of Step7
software, which opens the following pull-down menu.
The Graphic View clearly shows port assignment of all bus components. The assignment made here must fit
to the real conditions.
In the example below, controller port1 is linked to port 1 of the encoder. The programming tool (PG/PC) is
connected to port 2 of the controller.
4.6. Parameterization
A double-click on the encoder module in slot 0 will open the window „Properties - PNBushaube“ with tabs
„General“, „Addresses“ and „Parameters“. Under tab „Addresses“ the device diagnostic address can be
changed or predefined default can be adopted.
In encoder class 3 some parameters are permanently on default, regardless of the user configuration:
scaling is not enabled
the number of steps per revolution is fixed to the maximum of the respective basic encoder
total measuring range is fixed to the maximum of the respective basic encoder
rotation sense is fixed to cw
preset functionality not supported.
Note: A change in resolution parameters clears the preset offset value (if any) so that the current
position reference will be lost. See also 5.6 “Preset function”.
This setting will be taken into account in Encoder Class 4 only (see Abs. 4.6.1).
With singleturn encoders, enter the same value here as for the “Measuring units per revolution“
Admissible values range from 2 to the product of the programmed resolution multiplied by the
encoder’s maximum number of revolutions. See also 4.6.13 “Important Note for Multiturn Encoder
Operation“.
Note: A change in “Total measuring Range” clears the preset offset value (if any) so that the current
position reference will be lost. See also 5.6 “Preset function”.
This setting will be taken into account in Encoder Class 4 only (see Abs. 4.6.1).
This setting will be taken into account in Encoder Class 4 only (see Abs. 4.6.1).
Parameter setting „ Scaling Functionality off“ will always consider the maximum „ Measuring Units
per Revolution “ and maximum „ Total Measuring Range “ of the basic encoder.
In compatibility mode according to V3.1, the preset will always affect position value G1_XIST2 only.
Setting is of no importance when using standard telegrams 100 to 102.
Thus, there are no special requirements for the encoder parameters “total measuring range” and
“measuring units per revolution” to stand in a certain ratio.
With endless operation active, the encoder shaft must not rotate when the encoder is
unpowered. In those cases where powerless motion cannot be avoided, the encoder has to be
referenced (presetted) after every power-up. With Endless Operation inactive, the encoder shaft may
rotate unlimitedly when encoder is not powered.
Error
Alarm Number
Battery low (*) 20 (14h)
Position error 22 (16h)
Parameter error (*) 26 (1Ah)
Basic encoder error – communication (analog) (*) 28 (1Ch)
Basic encoder error – communication (digital) (*) 29 (1Dh)
Preset error: value out of range 30 (1Eh)
(*) Channel-specific diagnostics in the event of error is already present during encoder bootup.
The entire customer-specific configuration including device name and IP will be deleted. Only MAC-ID and
serial number are retained.
Note: The device name being deleted may make the PLC immediately try to allocate the projected name
again. If this is unwanted, automated name allocation should be disabled in project „Device exchange without
removable media“ prior to executing the Factory Setup.
Color Status
LED yellow continuous Encoder not active in the bus, no PROFINET link.
LED green continuous PROFINET link provided by one or both ports (link status active)
LED red continuous for 2,5 s position error or maximum speed exceeded.
LED red flashing slowly (1 Hz) Parameterization error
LED red flashing fast (5 Hz) Preset value out of range
At encoder power-on the LED is lit continuously yellow until the PROFINET controller (PLC) has established
the link to the device (encoder). Usually this state is pretty short if the master is already running. However,
this state persists in case communication cannot be established, maybe due to a malfunction in the
PROFINET cable.
Provided encoder configuration and parameterization was successful (automated process) the cyclic data
communication will commence. The LED green continuous signals cyclic data exchange with the controller.
Upon occurrence of a position leap („code consistency error“) or excess speed of more than 6200 rpm the
LED will change to red continuous for at least 2.5 s. If the signalized error remains or occurs repeatedly within
this time, red continuous will be extended correspondingly.
If the encoder receives a preset value outside the limits the LED will change to red flashing fast (5 Hz). This
alarm remains until the encoder is receiving an admissible preset value.
In case of incorrect parameterization by the master the LED is flashing red slowly (1 Hz). This may be due to
incorrect parameter input in the engineering tool. Most of incorrect inputs are prevented by the GSDML file,
but eliminating every error is not possible.

Scaling is defined by encoder parameterization, see also chapter. Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht
gefunden werden.„Parameterization“.
Each scaling option provides measured value output as a „signed integer“. Positive values indicate the
direction of rotation with rising position values. Which rotational direction is assigned “positive” depends on
the CW/CCW parameter setting.
If speed is outside the +32767 to –32768 range (16 bit speed format), the encoder will output the respective
maximum value. Depending on the applied basic encoder and configuration, the maximum value may be
achieved even at very low speed. The 32 bit speed format will prevent any overrun.
A short speed update period entails a more dynamic speed output, whereas an extended update period
ensures more stable values. The optimum speed update period depends on the application requirements.
The update period can be configured within the range from 1ms to 255 ms.
For configuration refer to chapter 4.6 „Parameterization”.
A shallow filter depth (number of update cycles) entails a more dynamic speed output, whereas a higher filter
depth ensures more stable values. The optimum speed filter depth in interaction with the configured update
time depends on the application requirements.
The filter depth, which is the total number of average update cycles, is configurable within the range from 1 to
255. For configuration refer to chapter 4.6 „Parameterization“.
For optimum alignment of mechanical position to preset we recommend to set the preset value during
encoder standstill, but it may also execute while encoder rotates for less accurate requirements.
It is mandatory to parameterize the required resolution or code sequence (cw/ccw) prior to performing the
preset operation.
Upon performing a preset operation an internal offset is calculated and stored non-volatile in the Flash
memory to make sure the encoder will be at the same position after cycling power.
Although the Flash provides +100.000 write cycles, frequent software- or event-triggered preset operations
may consume even this capacity what has to be considered in the PLC software configuration.
The Preset-Bit must be kept set for at least one full I/O bus cycle to be recognized by the encoder. A timer
control of e.g. 10ms or more will do as well. The Preset Bit may stay active for an unlimited period of time
since only a change from „0“ to „1“ will be evaluated. We recommend however to clear the bit after
completion in order to provide the original status for a subsequent preset operation.
The „REL“ bit in control word G1_STW1 defines whether an absolute or relative preset operation will be
performed. In a relative preset operation, the current position value will be shifted by the signed preset value.
The „PR“ bit in G1_STW1 is the preset bit. Upon changing from “0” to “1”, it triggers the preset operation.
Once successfully completed, bit “PA” (preset acknowledge) is set in status word G1_ZSW1. The PA bit
remains active as long as the preset bit remains set by PLC.
The preset value is retrieved from the value stored in parameter 65000 (see chapter 6.4.18 „Parameter
65000: Preset Value“. In a relative preset operation, the 32bit value is interpreted as a complement on 2, i.e.
„-1“ will be saved as „0xFFFFFFFF“.

Two other, green LEDs are provided near the cable glands for PROFINET connection. These activity LEDs
signal the bus activity, i.e. the data communication on each of the two Ethernet ports.
Usually this is performed by the PLC’s engineering software (for example SIEMENS® Step7®) by aid of a
PC.
The encoder resolution is programmable in individual steps between the maximum limit (encoder-specific, for
example 8192 at GXMMW) and the minimum limit of 1 step/turn.
Important: The encoder’s total measuring range (“total measuring range (units “hi/lo“) must be aligned w
the programmed resolution. If not, this will result in parameterization errors signaled by the LED in the bus
cover flashing red. The maximum total measuring range is calculated by multiplying the resolution (steps per
turn) by the encoder’s maximum number of revolutions. Standard resolution is 16 bit (65536 revolutions).
Encoders featuring a 18 bit singleturn resolution (e.g. GBMMW) are capable of a 13 bit resolution (8192
revolutions).
Singleturn encoders
The total measuring range of a singleturn encoder comprises exactly one complete or partial revolution,
reason why the value in parameter “total measuring range” must always be equal to the parameter
“measuring units per revolution”.
Multiturn encoders
Multiturn encoders are capable of sensing max. 65536 revolutions (GBxxx 8192 revolutions). Maximum
admissible limit for the total measuring range is the product of “steps per turn” multiplied by the encoder’s
maximum number of revolutions (65536 respectively 8192). Excess values in parameterization will result in
an error signal (flashing LED) together with a “parameterization alarm” in the diagnostic data.
However, any inferior value may be programmed. All encoders with PROFINET bus covers feature integrated
endless operation ensuring admissible values for all resolutions and total measuring ranges even during
overrun. Integer ratios of singleturn resolution and total measuring range are not mandatory, as sometimes
required by other manufacturers.
Example:
Standard multiturn encoder GXMMW features a singleturn resolution of 13 bit (8192 steps per turn) and is
capable of sensing 65536 completed revolutions.
Consequently the total measuring range is 8.192 x 65.536 = 536.870.912 steps.
The singleturn resolution is reduced to 3600 steps / turn.
The total measuring range now is reduced to 3.600 x 65.536 = 235.929.600 steps.
If the total measuring range is not correspondingly aligned to the new maximum limit, the encoder will
have to count 149.130 completed revolutions. That is impossible and results in an error signal (flashing
LED).
The encoder’s device name is clear (“”), and PLC cannot automatically assign the proper name because
automatic assignment wasn’t projected or no Topoplogy Planning was done.
Make sure the I/O encoder addresses are within the cyclic updated process mapping. Size and position of
process mapping or encoder I/O address may require adjustment.
No I/O module present in encoder HW configuration.
No topology planning executed. Other port than projected has been connected (operating modes IRT).
