Serial: BiSS
The BiSS interface is a non-proprietary, serial real-time interface. The support of BiSS
encoders includes the following functions:
l
Support of BiSS C
l
Support of typical encoders made by Hengstler, Kübler and Balluff
l
Mapping of a BiSS absolute encoder to variable pole lengths of a linear motor
l
Support of frame lengths with absolute position information of 32 bits maximum in a
40-bit frame
l
Generator polynomial 0x43 (6 bits)
Balluff encoders have a parallel analogue track. This track will not be evaluated in parallel
to the BiSS encoder. The encoder can be connected either as an analogue encoder or as a
BiSS encoder. Data storage in the encoder and the read-out of type plates are not
supported.

Encoder type
To use this type of encoder,
Serial: BiSS
must be selected.
