BiSS-C Protocol Timing

 

P Series Protocol Timing Constraints

Symbol Parameter Conditions Min. Max. Unit
tMAS Permissible clock period ttimeout = 1.2 μs 100 2 × ttimeout ns
tMASH Clock signal high level duration - 50 ttimeout ns
tMASL Clock signal low level duration ttimeout = 1.2 μs 50 - ns
tREQ Req low level duration ttimeout = 1.2 μs 50 ttimeout ns
CLK (MA) Permissible clock frequency MA - - 10 MHz

 

Multi-Turn Serial Encoder BiSS-C Output Format

ST

9-21 bits

ERR/NERR

Breakdown of BiSS-C Multi-Turn Encoder Format

Data Field Description Data Length
CDS Control data slave 1 bit
MT Multi-turn resolution 16 bits*
ST Single-turn data length 21 bits
ERR/NERR Error bit 1 bit
WARN/NWARN Warning bit 1 bit
LC Enable life counter 0 bits
CRCPOS Checksum for position data 6 bits

 

* Multi-turn resolution does not apply to the PM-DD direct drive rotary motors. These motors do not maintain mult-turn position and do not transmit MT bits.
