3.2 OPC UA for PROFINET Encoder definitions

Excerpt from [ENCP], chapter 4.1.

3.2.1 Output Data

Data, which a device cyclically receives from the controller and which it outputs to the device application or the peripherals.

3.2.2 Input Data

Data, which a device cyclically sends to the controller.

3.2.3 IO Data

For Devices, all Input and Output Data (cyclic transmission).

3.2.4 DO IO Data

For a Drive Object (PROFIdrive), all Input and Output Data (cyclic transmission).

3.2.5 EO IO Data

For an Encoder Object (encoder), all Input and Output Data (cyclic transmission).

3.2.6 Process Data

For Devices, all data related to the control process (e.g. gain factor, state variables, …). The Process Data typically is mapped on parameters (access is with acyclic transmission).
