SSI - Interface and protocol for industrial sensors
Serial Synchronous Interface · 2001
Present mechatronics systems as automotive machines and robots are multi-axes systems usually. Therefore more axes of mechatronics systems must be controlled and monitored by sensors. Most often sensors for positioning of axes of industrial robots are encoders. At more number of controlled axes the problem cabling appear with bit-parallel interfaces. These problems may be technical and financial. The Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) provided a data transmission on six-wire cable with signals RS422 compatible. The next text described basic properties of SSI interface and protocol.
