2.3
HIPERFACE DSL
®
for Motor Feedback Systems
This document describes the use and implementation of the HIPERFACE DSL
®
data pro‐
tocol installed in motor feedback systems of servo drives.
HIPERFACE DSL
®
is a purely digital protocol that requires a minimum of connection
cables between frequency inverter and motor feedback system. The robustness of the
protocol enables the connection to the motor feedback system via the motor connec‐
tion cable.
Motor feedback systems with the HIPERFACE DSL
®
interface can be used across all per‐
formance ranges and substantially simplify the installation of an encoder system in the
drive:
•
Standardized digital interface (RS485)
•
Analog components for the encoder interface are not required
•
Standardized interface between the frequency inverter application and the proto‐
col logic
