Properties
Properties of position decoder module SM 338; POS-INPUT:
● 3 inputs for the connection of up to three absolute value encoders (SSI), and 2 digital
inputs to freeze encoder values
● Allows direct reaction to encoder values in motion systems
● Processing of encoder values recorded by SM 338 in the user program
● Supports isochronous mode
● Selectable encoder value acquisition mode:
– cyclic
– isochronous
● Rated input voltage 24 VDC
● Nonisolated to the CPU
● Fast Mode selectable; with faster transducer action and compressed feedback interface.
The Fast Mode is available from firmware version V2.0.0 in SM 338; POS-INPUT and can
be selected from STEP 7 V5.3+SP2.
