FAQ

The Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) is a point-to-point serial communication protocol for digital sensors. Its main advantages are high transmission speed, reliable data transfer over long distances, and high resistance to electrical interference, making it ideal for industrial environments.

Yes, most modern PLCs and motion controllers have input cards or modules that support the SSI interface. You will need to ensure your controller has a compatible SSI master port and configure it according to the encoder's data format (e.g., Gray code, binary).

An absolute encoder provides the exact physical position of the shaft at all times, even after a power cycle. Unlike an incremental encoder, it does not need to be 'homed' or returned to a reference position on startup, which is critical for safety and efficiency in many applications.
