Preliminary information This guide is designed to provide the most complete and exhaustive information the operator needs to correctly and safely install and operate the SFAS1-01000 and SFAS1-02000 absolute draw-wire encoders. SFAS1-01000/SFAS1-02000 cable-pulling encoder is aimed at speed and position measurements and controls in a variety of industrial applications through the movement of a 1,000 mm (39.37”) or 2,000 mm (78.74”) stainless steel wire.

SFAS1-01000 • SFAS1-02000 Always keep the wire aligned not to damage the equipment (maximum deviation: 3°). 3.3 Useful information If you want to know the maximum measuring length and the resolution of the draw-wire encoder please refer to the order code. The stroke per turn is always 100 mm (3.937”), the maximum number of turns is 10 for SFAS1-01000 and 20 for SFAS1-02000.

SFAS1-01000 • SFAS1-02000 SSI interface Order code: SFAS1-xxxxx-BA2-… SFAS1-xxxxx-GA2-… 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.
SFAS1-01000 • SFAS1-02000 At each change of the clock signal and at each subsequent rising edge (2) one bit is clocked out at a time, up to LSB, so completing the data word transmission. The cycle ends at the last rising edge of the clock signal (3). This 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);...

SFAS1-01000 • SFAS1-02000 Then if you want to know the linear position value you will need to multiply the transmitted position value by the linear resolution. Linear position value = transmitted position * linear resolution NOTE Please note that the encoder's linear resolution can be read also in the order code next to the rotary resolution.
SFAS1-01000 • SFAS1-02000 EXAMPLE 2 Let's suppose that we are using the SFAS1-02000-GA2-08192-... draw-wire encoder and the transmitted position value is 1569. The resolution of the encoder is 8,192 cpr. The linear resolution (0.012 mm) can be read in the product datasheet; anyway it can be easily calculated as follows: Stroke per turn Linear resolution = Resolution cpr...

SFAS1-01000 • SFAS1-02000 If you reverse the formula you can easily calculate the maximum number of revolutions starting from the value of the counting frequency (as allowed by the encoder, permitted by the subsequent electronics and accepted by the cable run) and the desired number of pulses per revolution: Maximum counting frequency (kHz) * 60 * 1,000 rpm =...
