Information data 1:

Reading or writing values of the EndDat encoder

If the configuration and information data access specific memory areas of the Endat encoder, make sure that the encoder is connected and supplied with voltage to read or write to these memory areas.
If no communication can be established with the EnDat encoder, an error message "Data cannot be transferred or stored to the application" is displayed.
