6.1 Transmission procedure
The SSI procedure is a synchronous serial transmission procedure for the measuring
system position. By using the RS422 interface for transmission, sufficiently high
transmission rates can be achieved.
The measuring system receives a clock sequence from the control and answers with
the current position value, which is transmitted serially and is synchronous to sent
clock.
Since the data transfer is synchronized by the start of the sequence, it is not
necessary to use single-step codes such as Gray code.
The data signals Data+ and Data– are transmitted by means of cable transmitters
(RS422). The clock signals Clock+ and Clock– are received by means of optocouplers
to protect them from damage resulting from interference, potential differences, or
polarity reversal.
