This article discusses the basics of the options for using a BiSS encoder with a Galil motion controller or Pocket PLC.
The Galil BiSS interface is a standard upgrade option for the following controllers:
- DMC-40x0 10/100Base-T Ethernet/RS232 Accelera Series 1-8 axis
- DMC-41x3 10/100Base-T Ethernet/USB Econo Series 1-8 axis
- RIO-47xxx 10/100Base-T Ethernet Intelligent I/O Controller
Galil supports a point to point unidirectional BiSS interface. Each BiSS encoder is wired directly to the Galil controller, and the controller addresses each individual encoder independently.
Galil supports single-turn and multi-turn rotary and linear absolute encoders.
See Application Note 1502 for more details.
Please contact Galil to speak with an Application Engineer to discuss your application.
