    Installation Method ■ Installing Modules Side-by-Side The module is mounted onto a DIN rail in conformity with IEC 60715 (width: 35 mm, thickness: 1 mm). The dimensions (unit: mm) are shown below. When installed on a DIN rail other than the recommended one (especially the one whose thickness is not 1.0 mm), the product will not fit in place as the mounting hook does not work.
  • Page 19 ■ Installing Module onto DIN Rail 1. Align the module with the DIN rail and push the module in the direction indicated by the arrow until you hear a click, as shown below. 2. Make sure the DIN rail mounting hook of the module is locked. The locked and unlocked states of the mounting hook are shown below.

  • Page 24 4 Configuration Overview Before configuring the GL20‑2SSI module, it is necessary to understand the functions and principles. ■ SSI absolute encoder value detection The SSI absolute encoder uploads the encoder value in its data frame to the GL20‑ 2SSI module. The GL20‑2SSI module will initialize the transmission of the clock signal in the cycle rate while the GL20‑2SSI module processes the encoder value transmitted in synchronization with its cycle rate.

    After receiving the data frame according to this configuration, it is necessary to parse the single‑ and multi‑turn data according to the specifications of the encoder. Other types of encoders can also be configured according to this example. For example, one frame of encoder data contains velocity, displacement, or acceleration, etc.
  • Page 31 ■ Frame interval setting You can configure the frame interval based on the sampling rate supported by the encoder, including 16 μs, 32 μs, 48 μs, 64 μs, 512 μs, 1024 μs. Here we take frame interval of 48 μs as an example: Different SSI absolute encoders have different frame interval requirements.
  • Page 32 For multi‑sampling, when the frame interval is set to 512 μs and 1024 μs, after the first frame of clock signal is sent, an additional frame of clock signal is sent at an interval of 100 μs. The received data are compared. If there is a difference, a fault code is reported.
