7 Register communication
Writing of the registers calls for utmost care and attention. Writing only of the registers listed in
this document. Incorrect register writing may cause the encoder outputting incorrect values.
Writing only of the command register (0x60).
Do not write in any other register.
Soft preset (0x60 = 0x02)
Writing 0x02 in register 0x60 will execute preset. (zero set as default).
Any other preset value requires the corresponding default parameter predefined at Baumer.
The error register
Register 0x68 is reading the encoder error status. 0x00 mains no error present.
Bit “0” is the only one to signal error ERR_L (infrared LED current limit error) in the BiSS C frame.
The warning bit is not used.
Transmission current error:
ERR_L
0x68; bit 0
Code
Function
0
no control error present
1
amplitude exceeded, or outside control range*
Figure 6
* EFL580 – outside temperature limit
Error bit transmission is usually inverted (low active).
Error Reset
The error reset is automatically executed at position data reading.
BiSS encoders are programmable to allow for customer-specific parameterization. Should you
require another different from default, you may approach your Baumer contact for support to
ensure proper encoder functionality by the correct configuration. We gladly will be of help.
