9.27 Absolute value encoder with SSI
protocol
Absolute value encoders provide information about posi
tion in the form of a digital numeric value. Because the
numeric value is unique over the entire resolution range
of the absolute value encoder, no initial reference move
ment is needed is is the case for incremental rotary en
coders. Absolute values can be transferred by the en
coder using the international SSI, EnDat (Heidenhain) or
Hiperface (Sick-Stegmann).
In addition to the current position value, other data items
can also be transferred. They can include current tem
perature values of the encoder or the electrical data of
the servo motor on which the encoder is mounted (the
"electronic rating plate")
Supported by the following modules: MX840, MX840B,
MX440B
