Preliminary information
This guide is designed to provide the most complete and exhaustive information the operator needs to
correctly and safely install and operate the
AMM80 absolute kit encoder
.
This encoder is available with the following interfaces:
•
SSI interface;
•
BiSS C-mode interface;
•
RS-485 serial interface.
AMM80 encoder can be both singleturn and multiturn.
Singleturn resolution can be 17 bits (131,072 cpr), 20 bits (1,048,576 cpr), and 23 bits (8,388,608 cpr).
In multiturn versions, the number of revolutions is 65,536.
It further provides additional 1Vpp Sine-Cosine signals for speed feedback (1,024 sinusoidal signals per
revolution).
AMM80 is ideal for integration into space critical applications such as robots, robotic joints, hollow shaft
motors (direct drive torque motors, …), brushless and servo motors, electric actuators, electro-medical
devices, OEM equipment.
To make it easier to read and understand the text, this guide can be divided into some main sections.
In the first section some general information concerning the safety, the mechanical installation and the
electrical connection as well as tips for setting up and running properly and efficiently the unit are
provided.
In the second section, entitled
SSI interface
, both general and specific information is given on the SSI
interface, see on page 30.
In the third section, entitled
BiSS C-mode interface
, both general and specific information is given on
the BiSS C-mode interface. In this section the parameters implemented in the unit are fully described.
See on page 34.
In the fourth section, entitled
RS-485 serial interface
, both general and specific information is given
on the serial interface, see on page 44.
WARNING
Light alters significantly the proper operation of the system.
Please mount the motor cap and protect the encoder from light sources before starting the
system and checking its operation. The encoder has been calibrated to perform at its best
without any light interference.
WARNING
The encoder must be adequately protected under an enclosure appropriate for the specific
application.
