The cable shielding must be connected properly to the metal ring nut 3 of the connector in order to ensure a good earthing through the frame of the device.
SFAM1-05000 • SFAM2-10000 4.6 Ground connection Minimize noise by connecting the shield and/or the connector housing and/or the frame to ground. Make sure that ground is not affected by noise. The connection point to ground can be situated both on the device side and on user’s side.

SFAM1-05000 • SFAM2-10000 SSI interface Order code: SFAMx-xxxxx-BA2-… SFAMx-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.
SFAM1-05000 • SFAM2-10000 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);...

SFAM1-05000 • SFAM2-10000 If you need to convert the speed value from rpm into m/s, use the following formula instead: rpm * 200 Speed in m/s = / 1000 EXAMPLE Let's assume that we are using the SFAM1-05000-BA2-08192-... draw-wire encoder and the maximum speed of the application is 1 m/s. To calculate the counting frequency we must convert the speed expressed in m/s into rpm first.
SFAM1-05000 • SFAM2-10000 The reversed formula can be very useful -for instance- when you know the maximum counting frequency that is applicable to the system (because of the encoder, the following electronics and the cable length) and you need to calculate the maximum rotational speed the encoder is allowed to reach at the desired resolution.
