More Information

Overview Manuals Position Coding PROFINET Exchange Mechanical Fit Protection Limits

Features:

  • A 16-bit code represents the absolute shaft angle within one revolution.
  • Two M12 ports exchange cyclic position data through PROFINET RT or IRT.
  • A separate M12 connector supplies the encoder independently from network cabling.
Mechanical rotation becomes a configured position value.

Direction and preset align that value with the machine reference.

GSDML and device naming link the encoder profile to the controller project.

The Siemens 6FX2001-5FN13 Single-Turn PROFINET Absolute Encoder may remain available for quotation and support beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Turning shaft angle into an absolute controller value

  • Mechanical input: The solid shaft follows the measured mechanism through its coupling.
  • Angular code: The sensing system assigns one absolute value within the revolution.
  • Resolution: The configured step count sets the usable positions per turn.
  • Preset: The current mechanical point can be assigned to the required reference value.

Carrying encoder data into the automation project

  • GSDML: The device description adds the encoder profile and module layout.
  • Device name: PROFINET startup identifies the encoder by its assigned station name.
  • RT and IRT: The selected mode determines the timing relationship for cyclic data.
  • Two ports: Line traffic can pass through the encoder between neighboring devices.

Keeping the shaft connection inside its load boundaries

  • Flange: The synchronous flange centers the encoder on the machine mounting face.
  • Shaft: The 6 mm solid shaft couples to the measured mechanism.
  • Bearing load: Axial and radial forces remain within the limit for operating speed.
  • Runout check: Alignment prevents coupling stress from becoming a position or bearing problem.

Applying separate environmental boundaries to housing and shaft

  • Housing seal: The encoder body carries the documented IP67 protection.
  • Shaft side: The rotating shaft interface is rated separately at IP64.
  • Temperature: Ambient conditions remain within the stated operating range.
  • Cable sealing: M12 plugs and unused ports require the intended sealed connection.
Description
Siemens 6FX2001-5FN13 is a 16-bit single-turn absolute encoder with PROFINET IO for motion and automation systems. Its synchronous flange and 6 mm shaft transfer mechanical rotation to the sensing system, which reports an absolute angular value within one revolution.

As the shaft turns, 6FX2001-5FN13 converts the measured angle into the configured number of positions per revolution. Counting direction and preset parameters determine how that mechanical reference is represented in the controller without changing the actual direction of shaft motion.

Two radial M12 Ethernet ports on 6FX2001-5FN13 form the PROFINET RT or IRT communication path, while a separate M12 connector supplies 10 to 30 V DC. Position, control, status, and speed information are exchanged through the configured encoder profile and GSDML structure.

Mechanical limits on 6FX2001-5FN13 apply to shaft speed, axial load, radial load, shock, and vibration because the measured mechanism must follow the encoder without slip or bearing overload. Housing IP67 and shaft-side IP64 are separate boundaries, so the coupling side requires the appropriate installation protection.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
Why might a controller fail to recognize Siemens 6FX2001-5FN13?
Check the Siemens 6FX2001-5FN13 GSDML entry, PROFINET device name, IP assignment, M12 data path, network port state, and separate DC supply.
How can an incorrect scale from 6FX2001-5FN13 be corrected?
Compare the 6FX2001-5FN13 configured positions per revolution with the controller module parameters before changing the PLC engineering conversion.
What causes Siemens 6FX2001-5FN13 to count in the wrong direction?
The Siemens 6FX2001-5FN13 counting-direction parameter or mechanical orientation can reverse the reported progression; verify both before applying a preset.
Can both Ethernet ports power 6FX2001-5FN13?
No. The two 6FX2001-5FN13 M12 Ethernet ports carry PROFINET data, while the separate four-pin M12 connection supplies 10 to 30 V DC.
Does IP67 cover the shaft connection of Siemens 6FX2001-5FN13?
No. Siemens 6FX2001-5FN13 has IP67 housing protection and a separate IP64 shaft-side rating, so the coupling area needs suitable installation protection.
