Safety Instructions and Responsibility General Safety Instructions This operation manual is a significant component of the unit and includes important rules and hints about the installation, function and usage. Non-observance can result in damage and/or impairment of the functions to the unit or the machine or even in injury to persons using the equipment! Please read the following instructions carefully before operating the device and observe all safety and warning instructions! Keep the manual for later use.
Installation The device is only allowed to be installed and operated within the permissible temperature range. Please ensure an adequate ventilation and avoid all direct contact between the device and hot or aggressive gases and liquids. Before installation or maintenance, the unit must be disconnected from all voltage-sources. Further it must be ensured that no danger can arise by touching the disconnected voltage- sources.
EMC Guidelines All motrona units are designed to provide high protection against electromagnetic interference. Nevertheless, you must minimize the influence of electromagnetic noise to the unit and all connected cables. Therefore, the following measures are mandatory for a successful installation and operation: Use shielded cables for all signal and control input and output lines.

Compatibility Hint The main differences between the SI220 and its previous model, the SI251, are listed below: SI220 SI251 Housing dimensions (w x h x d): dimensions (w x h x d): 34 x 118 x 135 mm / 40 x 79 x 91 mm / 1.34 x 4.65 x 5.31 inches 1.57 x 3.11 x 3.58 inches (inclusive connections)

Introduction SI220 represents an encoder interface unit, designed to convert output signals of so-called “sine-cosine-encoders” and similar measuring systems into incremental quadrature impulse signals, according to the A/B (2 x 90°) standard. Under consideration of an adjustable multiplier the unit interpolates a corresponding number of impulses from every sine wave.

Connections The unit provides a 9-pin SUB-D connector (female on the unit site) for connection of the SinCos sensor. For easy power supply of the encoder, an auxiliary voltage of either 5.2 V or approx. 24 V can be connected to the SUB-D socket. The incremental output impulses are available with RS422 standard and HTL standard (push- pull) at the same time, and one output of both or both outputs at a time may be used, quite according to the application.
Connection Overview At any time, the over-all transmission characteristics of encoder, external components and capacity of cable must ensure proper signals at the input of the unit, with respect to levels, shape and phase displacement A/B. The output swing of the HTL push-pull outputs corresponds to the input supply voltage on terminals 1 (GND) and 2 (+24V) of X1.
Pin assignment of SUB-D-connectors SinCos-Inputs (X3) Standard encoders with differential outputs can be connected directly to the corresponding pins SIN+, SIN-, COS+, COS-, REF+, REF-. Where longer cables must be used, terminating resistors between the non-inverted and the inverted signal of each channel may be of advantage. Using the DIL switch, the Z pulse can be switched on the input or a Z pulse is automatically generated with each sine period.

Switch Settings DIL switch S1 is used to set the filter, the interpolation factor, the interpolation time and the programmable Z divider. DIL switch S2 allows the activation of a programmable A/B divider and the selection of test modes. Changes of the DIL switch positions will become active only after the next power-up of the unit!

Delays There is a delay time between the analogue input signals and the incremental output signals, which is typically 3 µsec. when the divider is switched off. Use of the divider function will extend the delay time correspondingly. The delay time is constant, and causes a frequency dependent phase shift between the input and output signals.
