Features:
- A 16-bit absolute code represents shaft position within one revolution.
- Two M12 ports carry PROFINET RT or IRT communication.
- A separate M12 connector supplies the encoder from 10 to 30 V DC.
Configured resolution, direction and preset define the controller position value.
The clamp flange and 10 mm shaft transfer the measured motion.
The encoder profile maps position and speed data into cyclic PROFINET IO.
The Siemens 6FX2001-5QN13 Single-Turn PROFINET Absolute Encoder may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Turning one shaft revolution into an absolute value
- Sensing: The encoder measures the mechanical angle within the current turn.
- Resolution: The selected step count defines the usable positions per revolution.
- Direction: A configured setting controls whether the reported value rises clockwise or counterclockwise.
- Preset: The active position can be assigned to the documented reference value.
Linking encoder data to the automation controller
- GSDML: The device description adds the exact encoder structure to the project.
- Device name: PROFINET uses the assigned station identity during startup.
- RT and IRT: The selected communication mode determines the timing relationship.
- Cyclic data: Position, control and status words exchange through the configured profile.
Keeping the two data ports separate from the supply input
- Port one: The first M12 Ethernet connector receives or continues the PROFINET line.
- Port two: The second M12 port supports the documented line connection.
- Power connector: A separate four-pin M12 connection feeds the DC supply.
- Radial layout: Connector clearance is maintained around the encoder housing.
Preserving accurate shaft transfer and enclosure protection
- Clamp flange: The FS15 flange locates the encoder on the machine mount.
- Shaft coupling: The 10 mm shaft follows the measured mechanism without slip.
- Speed boundary: Mechanical speed remains within the documented limit.
- Protection split: Housing IP67 and shaft-side IP64 are applied to their respective surfaces.
