DA6-SSI/A-U 1.1. Power Supply The unit accepts DC supply from 17 V to 30 V when using terminals 1 and 2. The consumption depends on the level of the supply voltage (typical 130mA at 30V or 190mA at 17V, plus current taken from aux. output).
DA6-SSI/A-U Typical input circuit of control input +24V int. +24V int. 4,7k Input Input 4,7k The minimum pulse duration on the Reset input (C) must be 5 msec. 1.4. Adjustable Analogue Output A voltage output is available, operating in a range of 0 ... +10 V or –10 V ... +10 V according to setting.
DA6-SSI/A-U 2. How to Operate the Front Keys For setup and other operations the unit uses three front keys which subsequently will be denominated as follows: ™ « ENTER (Input) (Setting) (Command) The functions of the keys are depending on the actual operating state of the unit.
DA6-SSI/A-U 2.2. Selection and Setting of Parameters 2.2.1. How to select a parameter The ENTER key will scroll through the menu. The SET key allows to select the corresponding item and to change the setting or the numeric value. After this, the selection can be stored by ENTER again, which automatically changes over to the next menu item.
DA6-SSI/A-U 2.3. Teach operation The Time-out function will be switched off during all Teach operations Function ENTER will conclude or abort any Teach operation in progress « ™ SET function is fully similar to normal set-up operation Cmd will store the display value to the register and will change over to the next interpolation point.
DA6-SSI/A-U 3. The Operator Menu The menu provides one section with “Basic Parameters” and another section with “Operational Parameters”. On the display you will only find those parameters which have been enabled by the basic settings. E.g. when the Linearisation Functions have been disabled in the basic set- up, the associated linearization parameters will also not appear in the parameter menu.

DA6-SSI/A-U 4. Setup Procedure For better understanding the following sections 4.1 and 4.2 explain settings for the display only. Model-specific settings for Analogue Output, Preselections and Serial Link will be explained separately, later. 4.1. Basic Parameters The subsequent settings are of unique nature and must only be made upon the very first setup.

DA6-SSI/A-U Menu Setting Range Default Reset A Reset command is available to store the actual SSI position to register „Zero Position“. As a result, the display value will become zero at the actual encoder position, and all further operation will refer to this new datum point.
DA6-SSI/A-U 4.3. Additional Parameters for the Analogue Output The following additional settings for the analogue output appear in the Basic Menu: Menu Setting Range Default Analogue Characteristics You can set the following output options: +/- 10 V (bipolar), 0 - 10 V (positive only), 4 - 20 mA 0 - 20 mA.

DA6-SSI/A-U 5. Hints for Application 5.1. Master and Slave Operation Set register “Mode” to position “Master” when the unit should generate the clock signal for the encoder. In this case the clock terminals (CLK) are configured as clock outputs. SSI Encoder...
DA6-SSI/A-U With Master operation, therefore other settings will result in generation of the next upper or lower value according to above list. With all settings <250.0 kHz the error between set rate and generated rate becomes negligible. It is mandatory to set the Baud rate also with Slave operation. In this case, however, the setting serves only to determine the pause time for correct synchronization (pause is detected after 4 clock cycles).
DA6-SSI/A-U 5.3. Scaling of the Display Under consideration of the scaling parameters which have been described previously, the final display value of the unit results from M-Factor DISPLAY [Encoder SSI Data] [0-Position] P-Factor D-Factor Encoder SSI data are always positive only. Where also negative values should be indicated, this can be achieved by corresponding setting of the parameters „0-Position“...
DA6-SSI/A-U 5.4. Basic Modes of Operation 5.4.1. Normal SSI display Normal operation provides calculation of the display value from the SSI encoder data and the settings of the scaling factors. Negative values can be achieved by corresponding setting of the zero-position, or by inversion of the direction bit.

DA6-SSI/A-U 5.4.2. Round-Loop Function This mode of operation is used frequently with rotating round tables or similar applications, where the absolute encoder information is only used for a limited and repeating range of the encoder (like one revolution of the table, which must not at the same time mean one revolution of the encoder shaft).
Page 25
DA6-SSI/A-U 5.4.3. Operation with Zero-Crossing As a special advantage, the round-loop mode can be used to bypass the mechanical encoder overflow position, because in this mode the unit continues with steady operation, even while the SSI encoder signal passes the mechanical overflow position from maximum to zero.
DA6-SSI/A-U 5.5. Testing Functions The test menu can be accessed while doing the basic set up, as shown in section 4.1. Most of these tests are for factory use only, but the following tests may also be helpful for the user:...
DA6-SSI/A-U 6. Special Functions 6.1. Linearization This function allows converting a non-linear input signal into a linear presentation or vice- versa. There are 16 interpolation points available, which can be freely arranged over the whole measuring range in any distance. Between two points the unit automatically will interpolate straight lines.
Page 28
DA6-SSI/A-U Application Example: The picture below shows a Watergate where the opening is picked up by means of an SSI encoder. We would like to display the clearance of the gate "d", but the existing encoder information is proportional to the opening angle φ.
DA6-SSI/A-U 6.2. Manual Input or „Teaching“ of the Interpolation Points Interpolation points to form the linearization curve can be entered one after another, using the same procedure as for all other numeric parameters. This means you will enter all parameters P01_x to P16_x and P01_y to P16_y manually by keypad.
Page 30
DA6-SSI/A-U Once we have reached and stored the last interpolation points P16_x/y, the routine will restart with P01_x again. You are free to double-check your settings once more or to make corrections. To conclude the Teach procedure , keep ENTER down for about 2 seconds. In the display you will read “StOP”...
