SMA1 3 - Mounting instructions WARNING Installation has to be carried out by qualified personnel only, with power supply disconnected and mechanical parts compulsorily in stop. 3.1 Overall dimensions 3.2 Magnetic scale The sensor has to be paired with the MTA1 type magnetic scale only. For detailed information on the MTA1 type scale and how to mount it refer to the specific technical documentation.
SMA1 3.3 Mounting the sensor Figure 1 Make sure the mechanical installation complies with the system requirements concerning distance, planarity and parallelism between the sensor and the scale. Avoid contact between the parts. Sensor is fixed by means of two M5 25 mm min.

SMA1 5 - SSI interface Order code: SMA1-GA2-5-… 5.1 SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface) Synchronous Serial SSI (the acronym Interface) is a synchronous point-to-point serial interface engineered unidirectional data transmission between one Master and one Slave. Developed in the first eighties, it is based on the RS- 422 serial standard.
SMA1 means that up to n + 1 rising edges of the clock signals are required for each data word transmission (where n is the bit resolution); for instance, a 13-bit encoder needs 14 clock edges. If the number of clocks is greater than the number of bits of the data word, then the system will send a zero (low logic level signal) at each additional clock, zeros will either lead (LSB ALIGNED protocol) or follow (MSB ALIGNED protocol) or lead and/or follow (TREE FORMAT...
SMA1 5.3 Recommended transmission rates The SSI interface has a frequency of data transmission ranging between 100 kHz and 1 MHz. The CLOCK signal and DATA signal comply with the “EIA standard RS-422”. The clock frequency (baud rate) depends on the length of the cable and must comply with the technical information reported in the following table: Cable length Baud rate...

SMA1 DATA (8 bits) When writing to the register: this is the value to be set in the register (i.e. transmitted from the Master to the Slave). When reading from the register: this is the value read in the register (i.e. transmitted from the Slave to the Master).
SMA1 Position (24 bits) Process data to be transmitted from the Slave to the Master. The transmission starts with the MSB (most significant bit) and ends with the LSB (least significant bit). 31 … 28 … value 0000 … To convert the position value into mm, multiply the received data value by the resolution (see 4Dhex Absolute resolution register).
