Single-Cable Connectivity for BiSS Line Kit Encoders

DCS POSITAL BiSS Line Encoder 1 400

December 3, 2021

 

The combination of single-cable connectivity and POSITAL’s cost-efficient kit encoders provides motor manufacturers and machine builders absolute position feedback for their devices in an economical and efficient way. A single-cable approach to motor connectivity reduces component count and simplifies installation procedures. By supporting both 2- and 4-wire implementations of the BiSS Line interface, POSITAL ensures compatibility with PLCs and controllers from most major manufacturers.

Applications

POSITAL’s kit encoders can provide a compact and economic solution for the elctrical motor and robotics industries. Their insensitivity to harsh working conditions and battery-less rotation counter make them ideal for a wide range of applications and uses that range from industrial robots to stepper and servo motors.

About the BiSS Interface

The BiSS Interface (bidirectional/serial/synchronous) protocol is an – Open Source – digital interface which enables a digital, serial and secure communication between controller, sensor and actuator.

The BiSS protocol is used on the lower sensor/actuator communication level in industrial applications which require transfer rates, safety, flexibility and a minimized implementation effort.
