The values for the Slave RSSI range from "0" (poorest signal strength) to "7" (best signal
strength).
6.4.3 Slave-Mail
The MAIL multi-purpose register of the slave is used for fast communication with the
DSL motor feedback system processor. The content of the slave mail register is trans‐
mitted to the encoder processor by the most rapid route possible.
Register 7Eh: Slave Mail
W-0 W-0 W-0 W-0 W-0 W-0 W-0 W-0
Slave-Mail
Bit 7 Bit 0
Bit 7-0 Slave-Mail
8 bit slave mail data for multiple applications.
6.4.4 Slave-Ping
The PING register of the slave is used to carry out connection tests on behalf of the
DSL Slave. The register can be written to and read externally, without this affecting the
DSL interface.
On start-up, the register is initialized with the DSL Slave interface hardware version.
NOTE
This register can also be used for multi axis implementation. For more information
please see chapter .
Register 7Fh:
Slave-Ping
R/W-0 R/W-0 R/W-0 R/W-0 R/W-0 R/W-0 R/W-0 R/W-0
Slave-Ping
Bit 7 Bit 0
Bit 7-0 Slave-Ping
8 bit hardware version of the DSL encoder at start-up. On first reading, the Ping value of
the slave can be used as a connection test on behalf of the slave.
