Overview of commands and samples

The FB EnDat Command object, index 0xB0n8:01 "Request" can be used to trigger various actions such as reading or writing to a specific memory area of the EnDat encoder (depending on the number of channels with n = 0 for channel 1 and n = 1 for channel 2).
The command is entered via the System Manager or the PLC (see following note)

	Command entry via the System Manager If the command input is written via the System Manager, the value must be entered in the "Binary" field. If the command is initiated via the PLC, then this takes place automatically.
