Introduction

2-channel BiSS C interface

The EJ5042-0010 EtherCAT plug-in module is a BiSS-C master and enables the direct connection of an absolute encoder with BiSS-C or SSI interface. Both singleturn and multiturn encoders are supported.

The extensive parameterization allows optimum adaptation to different encoder types.

Special features:

• unidirectional BiSS-C communication
• Parameterization per channel possible
• Baud rate up to max. 10 MHz, variable
• separate evaluation of the error and warning bit in the process data
• Position value output with up to 64 bits (depending on the encoder resolution)
• also usable as SSI master

Via the distributed clocks function, the position value is read out exactly synchronously with other processes. If the distributed clocks function is deactivated, the EJ5042-0010 clocks synchronize with the EtherCAT cycle.
