Fiber optic cables – reliable signal transmission under difficult environmental conditions.
Optical fiber transmission system for SSI absolute encoders.
The system is made up of an optical fiber transmitter and an optical fiber receiver. The optical fiber transmitter converts the electrical signals of a normal absolute encoder with Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) into a light signal for transmission by means of an optical fiber. The receiving module converts the optical signal back into electrical signals.
Absolute signals can be transmitted safely through one glass fiber over distances of up to 2000 m. A rotary switch on the front side of the module allows adjusting the SSI clock between 1 and 99 bits.
