7.1 Object 1000h: Device type
Contains information about the device type. The object at index 1000h describes the
type of device and its functionality. It is composed of a 16 bit field which describes the
device profile that is used (Device Profile Number 406 = 196h) and a second 16 bit
field which gives information on the type of encoder.

7.2 Object 1001h: Error register
This object contains the error register for the device. If the alarm bit
“Position error” is
set (object 6503), also the bits 0 and 5 are set in the error register. Bit 0 and bit 5 are
hard-wired, meaning that no magnet could be recognized, see also Emergency Error
codes from page 181.
