3.7.2 SSI (synchronous serial interface)
The SSI interface makes possible serial data transmission of the distance value or of
the distance value combined with the status information. Clock and data are trans‐
ferred over the interface. The data is transferred upon request from the control system.
For this purpose, the connected control unit applies a pulse sequence to the receiving
input of the measuring device. At each positive pulse edge, a data bit is pushed onto
the measuring device’s transmission line. This starts with the highest-value bit. There is
a pause of at least 30 µs between two pulse sequences. The cycle time and transmis‐
sion rate can be adjusted in wide limits on the control side. The bit pulse is between
70 kHz and 500 kHz and is dependent on the length of cable, see "Wiring notes",
page 42.

Depending on the set SSI coding ("Defining SSI coding", page 75), the SSI telegram is structured according to the
following tables. For more information on the SSI status bits, see table 33, page 93.
