Application Information

The TIP115 is an IndustryPack compatible module for motion control applications.

The TIP115 offers five independent channels. Each of these channels can be operated as a standard SSI interface controller or in a ‘Listen only’ mode.

The standard SSI interface controller outputs a clock burst to the absolute encoder and receives the returned positional data. The SSI interface controller operates with a programmable clock rate from 1μs to 15μs and programmable data word length from 1 bit to 32 bit.

In ‘Listen only’ mode the channel listens to an existing SSI interface to observe its data transfer. It takes both the SSI clock and data as inputs. In ‘Listen only’ mode the channel also has a programmable data word length from 1 bit to 32 bit; the SSI clock rate of the observed SSI interface can be in the range of 1μs to 15μs.

In both modes the data word can be encoded in Binary- or in Gray-Code and with odd, even or no parity.

The data inputs are galvanically isolated by high speed optocouplers. The level of the input and output signals is RS422.

Software support (TIP115-SW-xx) is available for different operating systems.
