Page 4: Introduction
1. Introduction IV251 is a small and low-cost, but highly performing converter for industrial applications, where the information of a sensor or encoder with SSI interface needs to be converted to an analogue signal or to a serial RS232/485 data format. The unit has been designed as a compact module with 12 screw terminals and a 9-position SUB-D connector (female). -
Page 5: Terminal Assignments And Connections
2. Terminal Assignments and Connections The subsequent diagram shows the assignment of the screw terminals. We recommend to connect the Minus wire of the power supply to earth potential. GND terminals 4, 6 and 12 are connected internally. Depending on input voltage and load of the auxiliary voltage output, the total power consumption of the unit is about 200 mA. -
Page 6: Encoder Connections With Slave Operation
2.2. Encoder connections with Slave operation With this mode, the IV251 converter operates in parallel to another unit, acting as a „listener“ to the existing data communication. Quite according to need, the common potential of the master can be connected to terminal 12 (GND), or remain open for fully differential operation. -
Page 7: Serial Interface
2.4. Serial interface The unit provides a RS232 interface and a RS485 interface, however only one of the two can be used at a time. Serial communication allows to read out the encoder position and to set parameters and variables by PC, according to need. GND int. -

Page 9: Commissioning
4. Commissioning With basic applications, you can use the Teach procedure for commissioning of the unit. Extended functions need a PC for setup and are described later. 4.1. Self Test: Set all DIL switches according to your application and connect encoder and power supply to the unit. -

Page 11: Serial Readout Of The Actual Encoder Position
5. Serial Readout of the Actual Encoder Position You can read out the actual SSI position of the encoder at any time from the serial link. For setting of communication parameters, a PC is required. IV251 uses the DRIVECOM communication standard according to ISO 1745. Details about this protocol can be found in our file Serpro1a.doc which is available for motrona download on the... -

7. Parameter Settings 7.1. Display Settings: X Operand, / Operand, +/-Operand: These operands serve for conversion of the position information transmitted by the encoder into other engineering units like millimeters or inches etc. This conversion only refers to the numeric readout value by serial link, but does not affect the scaling of the analogue output. - Page 14 The following drawings explain the coherence between original encoder data, Round-Loop setting, SSI-Offset and Direction register. 8192 Original encoder signal Encoder 13Bit Direction = 0 SSI-Offset = 1024 Round-Loop = 2048 Round-Loop signal 2048 T-Max 1024 T-Min degrees SSI-Offset = 1024 Round-Loop= 2048 Volt Analogue Output (Output Mode = 1)

Page 16: Ssi Specific Settings
7.3. SSI Specific Settings: SSI Low Bit: Defines the lowest bit (LSB) for evaluation, when the bit blanking function is used. Must be set to “01” for evaluation of the full encoder range. SSI High Bit: Defines the highest bit (MSB) for evaluation, when the bit blanking function is used. Must be set to the total number of encoder bits for evaluation of the full encoder range. - Page 17 SSI Baud Rate: Sets the communication speed of the SSI interface with SSI encoders. Setting range: 100 Hz to 1MHz. You are free to set any desired frequency between 0.1 kHz and 1000.0 kHz. For technical reasons however, in the upper frequency range with Master operation, the unit will only generate one of the following frequencies accurately: 1 000,0 kHz 888,0 kHz...

Page 21: Free Programmable Linearization
8. Free Programmable Linearization This programmable feature allows the user to convert a linear motion to a non-linear analogue output and vice-versa. There are 16 programmable interpolation points available, which can be set in any desired distance over the full conversion range. Between two points, the unit uses linear interpolation. - Page 22 You can visualize your curve on the PC screen or by means of an external oscilloscope. For this, select TOOLS, then TEST and there „Analogue Voltage Function“. The unit will now simulate a repeating motion of the encoder over the full range and generate the analogue signal accordingly.
