16 µs; 32 µs; 48 µs; 64 µs The monoflop time represents the
minimum interval between two SSI
frames.
The configured monoflop time must be
greater than the monoflop time of the
absolute value encoder.

The monoflop time is equivalent to the interval between two SSI frames. The configured monoflop time must be greater
than the monoflop time of the absolute value encoder (see the technical data of the manufacturer). The time 2 (1 /
transmission rate) is added to the value set in HW Config. A transmission rate of 125 kHz and configured monoflop time of
16 ms sets an effective monoflop time of 32 ms.

Restriction of the monoflop time of the absolute value encoder:

Note
Please note that in asynchronous mode, the transmission rate and monoflop time affect the
accuracy and update quality of the encoder values. In isochronous mode, the transmission
rate and monoflop time have an influence on the accuracy of the freeze function.

Data areas for encoder values
The SM 338 inputs and outputs are addressed beginning at the module start address. The
input and output address is determined in your configuration of SM 338 in
STEP 7
.
