PCD2.H150, SSI interface module for absolute encoder
Application
The PCD2.H150 Module is an interface module for the SSI standard. (SSI =
Synchronous Serial Interface). The SSI standard is used with most absolute
encoders. Details of SSI specifications can be obtained from the STEGMANN
company’s brochure: “SSI-Technical Information”.
The hardware consists of an RS-422 port for the SSI interface and 4 general-
purpose digital outputs. Functionality is provided by an FPGA (field programmable
gate array).
Technical data
Resolution:
configurable for 8 … 29 data bits and 0 … 2 control bits
Clock frequency:
configurable for 100 kHz, 200 kHz, 300 kHz
and 500 kHz (input filter designed for 500 kHz)
Frequency has to be selected
depending on cable length:
Cable length Frequency
< 50 m max.
500 kHz
< 100 m max. 300 kHz
< 200 m max. 200 kHz
< 400 m max. 100 kHz
Data code:
configurable - Gray or binary
Read mode:
Normal (single read). Ring mode: ‘double read and com-
pare’ (not all encoders support this function)
Offset position:
An offset can be defined when initializing the PCD2.H150.
The defined offset is always subtracted in the FBs. The
‘Set Zero’ command also uses this offset register.
Execution time:
typically 1.5 ms for reading the SSI value
Cable break detection:
detected with the FB ‘timeout’ (10 ms)
Flags
‘fTimeout’, (for cable break, encoder fault or incorrect
addressing)
‘fPar_Err’, (if an incorrect FB parameter is sent)
‘fRing_err’ (if compare error in ‘double read’)
SSI interface
1 input for SSI data
RS-422, electrically isolated
1 output for SSI clock
RS-422, electrically connected,
as the encoder input is normally isolated
