25 Bidirectional Serial Synchronous (BiSS) Module
The Bidirectional Serial Synchronous (BiSS) protocol is an open source digital interface for sensors and actuators. This protocol and module are compatible with the industrial standard serial synchronous interface (SSI).
The BiSS interface is used in position control applications. The interface enables a complete closed-loop position control system by providing the real-time position feedback to the host of the control motor. These applications can include:
- Bidirectional Communication in Multi Sensor Systems
- Linear and Rotary Encoders
- Motor Feedback Systems
- PLC Systems
- Drives
The Bidirection Serial Synchronous interface consists of the following key features:
- Bidirectional Data Communication that is Serial, Synchronous, and Continuous.
- 4 Serial Communication Lines
- 4 Data Channel Support with Ability to Add More
- 64-bit Sensor Data Lengths
- Cyclic at High Speeds
- Speeds Up to 10 MHz (BiSS) or 1.5 MHz (SSI)
- Auto Sense Frequency
- Variable Clock Rate
- Line Delay Compensation
- Safety Features Such as CRC, Error Flags and Warning Flags
- Ready to Use with RS485/422 Physical Interfaces
- BiSS/BiSS-C and SSI Compatibility
- Host and Client Configurations (Point-to-Point)
- Host and Multiple Clients (Point-to-Point)
- Host and Multiple Clients on Bus (Bus Configuration or BiSS)
