Encoder Value Detection

Description
The absolute encoder transfers its encoder values in message frames to the 1SSI. The
transmission of message frames is initiated by the 1SSI. The following alternatives are
available for encoder value detection:
• Free-wheeling encoder value detection
• Synchronous encoder value detection
• Isochronous encoder value detection
You can set free-wheeling or synchronous encoder value detection in HW Config with the
"Detection" parameter. This parameter only works in non-isochrone mode.
The detection of the encoder value will be isochronous when the 1SSI is in isochronous
mode. In this case, the "Detection" parameter is not evaluated.
The following table shows these connections:

Free-Wheeling Encoder Value Detection
With free-wheeling encoder value detection, you obtain maximum accuracy with the latch
function.
The 1SSI initiates the transmission of a message frame each time the assigned monoflop
time elapses.
The 1SSI processes the detected encoder value asynchronously to these free-wheeling
message frames in the cycle of the update rate.
This results in encoder values of various ages with the free-wheeling detection of encoder
values. The difference between maximum and minimum age is the jitter.
Synchronous Encoder Value Detection
With synchronous encoder value detection, you obtain maximum accuracy with encoder
value detection.
The 1SSI initiates the transmission of a message frame in the cycle of its update rate.
The 1SSI processes the transmitted encoder value synchronously to its update rate.
