5.17.1 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.DetailsofSSIspecicationscanbeobtainedfromtheSTEGMANN
company’s brochure: “SSI-Technical Information”.
The hardware consists of an RS-422 port for the SSI interface and 4 general-
purposedigitaloutputs.FunctionalityisprovidedbyanFPGA(eldprogrammable
gate array).
Technical data
Resolution: congurablefor8 … 29databitsand0 … 2controlbits
Clock frequency: congurablefor100kHz,200kHz,300kHz
and500kHz(inputlterdesignedfor500kHz)
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: congurable-Grayorbinary
Read mode: Normal (single read). Ring mode: ‘double read and com-
pare’ (not all encoders support this function)
Osetposition: AnosetcanbedenedwheninitializingthePCD2.H150.

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
