Phoenix Contact AXL SSI 1/AO 1 module

The Axioline I/O system has been expanded to include the AXL SSI 1/AO 1 module for position detection.

The terminal also has an analog output to control drives. The combination of position measurement via the SSI interface and simultaneous analog set point input offers simple and fast positioning.

The SSI interface enables fast communication with encoders up to a transmission frequency of 2 MHz. The value transferred by the encoder can be directly converted into a position by the module. This functionality shortens commissioning times.

The automation terminal has a resolution of up to 56 bits and supports Gray and binary encoders, making it sufficiently flexible for a range of applications.

Additional functions include the synchronisation of the SSI values with the digital or analog inputs and outputs of the Axioline station as well as detailed diagnostics of the module and encoder.

The positioning solution is rounded off by the integrated analog output for specifying a set point. Users can define a set point position with standard voltage or current signals, eg, for frequency converters.
