BISS-MIT in default supports 22-bit rotary BiSS C encoder and Mitsubishi 2 wire (half duplex) communication. To use ITF-21-BISS-MIT with other number of bits of position data of rotary BiSS C encoder or Mitsubishi 4 wire (full duplex) communication, user need to configure the setting of ITF-21-BISS-MIT with PC software accordingly via USB-C.
BiSS C Interface The BiSS C Master module of ITF-21-BISS-MIT use BiSS C (unidirectional) serial protocol. It is designed to work in a point-to-point configuration and must be installed in a “single Master, single Slave” network. Besides, it does not support line delay compensation.
Max Allowable BiSS C Cycle of Adapter [ IMPORTANT! ] To ensure ITF-21-BISS-MIT function properly, the BiSS C cycle period should not exceed 102μs. Basically, ITF-21-BISS-MIT can support any situation as long as the requirement of Max Allowable of BiSS C Cycle of ITF-21-BISS-MIT of 102μs is adhered.
When alarm 2A.N is triggered (where N = Alarm No. shown below) at MR-J4 driver, it means MR-J4 driver received at least one error from ITF-21-BISS-MIT. Refer to the corresponding alarm no. shown below for the root cause. Alarm No.

The root causes of Mitsubishi Alarm no. 3 and 4 can be further diagnosed using PC software. Refer to diagnostic part of software. Troubleshooting for Mitsubishi Alarm 1. What will happen if driver is turned on without connected to ITF-21-BISS-MIT? Or 5V and Gnd of driver interface cable is not connected correctly. Answer: Mitsubishi Alarm 16.3 will be triggered.
6. Setting Configuration The setting of ITF-21-BISS-MIT below is configurable by writing setting desired into the flash of ITF-21-BISS-MIT thru PC software via USB-C. Note: power cycle (power off and on of adapter) is required to take effect after configuration.
The default BiSS C setting above in general can support most of the situations as long as the total encoder cable length requirement is ≤ 20m. For special situations which violates the requirement above and thus customised firmware is required, please enquire Akribis System sales. 14 | P a g e THIS DOCUMENT IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE.
