Model A36R
If only position data is needed, it is possible to send only the number of clock cycles
matching the position bit length (MT + ST bits) to disregard the nERR/nWARN and CRC
bits at the end of the packet.
An optional 6-bit life cycle counter is also available upon special request. Please contact EPC if this option is required.
7.3 SSI Communication Timing
Communication via SSI requires slave timeout (t
encoder will resend the same information and will not latch the updated position. Figure 7 and Table 7 below provide details on
timing requirements while using the Model A36R with SSI.
