EL500x120 Version: 3.6
• Index 0x8000:02 [}126], enable power failure bit
If the bit is set to TRUE, the last bit (LSB) in the SSI telegram is interpreted as PowerFail bit of the SSI
slave and shown in the process data.
• Index 0x8000:03 [}126], enable inhibit time
If the bit is set to TRUE, the system waits at least until the inhibit time has elapsed when the next SSI
communication starts (index 0x8010:13 [}127]), even if the next start request has already been issued
via EtherCAT or distributed clocks.
• Index 0x8000:04 [}126], enable test mode
Only for production purposes.
• Index 0x8000:06 [}126]/ Index 0x4066 [}124], SSI encoding
Dual or gray coding setting (standard).
• Index 0x8000:09 [}126]/ Index 0x4067 [}124], SSI baud rate
should be set to 125, 250, 500 kbaud (default) or 1 Mbaud.
• Index 0x8000:0F [}126]/ Index 0x4068 [}125], SSI frame type
25, 13 or variable bit width (default: 25).
• Index 0x8000:11 [}126]/ Index 0x4069 [}125], SSI frame size
Total data volume including PowerFail bit.
• Index 0x8000:12 [}126]/ Index 0x406A [}125], SSI data length
Data volume without PowerFail bit
• Index 0x8000:13 [}126]/ Index 0x406B [}125], min. inhibit time [µs]
See index 0x8000:03 [}126].
The total size of the data depends on the encoder used. It is also type-specific whether a power-fail bit or
another auxiliary bit is supported. The counter value "0x6010:11 Counter Value" is determined on the basis
of the value entered in the object "0x80n0:12 SSI data length".
A few example configurations are shown below:

*) Analysis of the data and division into position and auxiliary bits must take place in the PLC
If the encoder offers more than 1 auxiliary bit, this can be done by means of suitable configuration of the
objects 0x80n0:11 SSI frame size and 0x80n0 SSI data length. The maximum size of 32 bits must be
considered here. If the parameters are of the same size, then not only the position, but also the auxiliary bits
are displayed in "Counter Value". Analysis of the data and division into position and auxiliary bits must take
place in the PLC.
If the settings are not made correctly in the CoE, or if there is an error at the inputs, this is indicated via the
status bits
