ssI absolute encoder
The SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface) is an interface used to connect
an absolute position encoder to a motion controller or control system.
The XPC drive provides a train of clock signals in differential format to
the encoder which initiates the transmission of the position data on the
subsequent clock pulses. The polling of the encoder data occurs at the
current loop frequency (16 kHz). The number of encoder data bits and
counts per motor revolution are programmable.
The hardware bus consists of two signals: SClk and SdaTa. data is sent
in 8 bit bytes, lSb first. The SClk signal is only active during transfers.
data is clocked out on the falling edge and clock in on the rising edge of
the Master.

endat absolute encoder
The endat interface is a Heidenhain interface that is similar to SSI in
the use of clock and data signals, but which also supports analog sin/
cos channels from the same encoder. The number of position data
bits is programmable as is the use of sin/cos channels. use of sin/cos
incremental signals is optional in the endat specification.

biSS is an - open Source - digital interface for sensors and actuators.
biSS refers to principles of well known industrial standards for Serial
Synchronous Interfaces like SSI, aS-Interface® and Interbus® with
additional options.

absolute-a encoder
The absolute a interface is a serial, half-duplex type that is
electrically the same as rS-485. note the battery which must be
connected. Without it, the encoder will produce a fault condition.
