NX-series Position Interface Units User’s Manual (W524)
The SSI Input Units convert serial data from an SSI interface-compatible absolute encoder or linear
encoder to obtain the absolute position.
Use an SSI Input Unit to enable the Controller to identify control positions based on the absolute posi-
tion information obtained from the target device.
*1. The count value of the encoder (serial data) is sent to the Controller every control period.
 Features
• You can connect to an absolute encoder with an SSI interface.
• A baud rate (synchronous clock of SSI communications) of up to 2.0 MHz is supported.
• Either one or two SSI input ports are provided. Each port can be set up with independent function-
ality.
