AKD PDMM - SSI Absolute Encoder | 10 Mar 2020 | |

AKD PDMM - SSI Absolute Encoder

Hi, 

I have a setup where I use the AKD PDMM drives and I would like to know if there is a possibility of using an SSI interface encoder as the feedback device. I know the drives support BiSS-C which is similar to SSI and online resources say BiSS-C and SSI are hardware compatible.

I have tried connecting the encoder to the drive but it was not able to detect it, are there parameters that I can set (like clock frequency) to use the encoder or is it not possible?

I am using the OLM100-1001 encoders from SICK for reference.

Unfortunately the AKD series including the PDMM does not support SSI encoders including the one you've listed.

See the link below for a list of linear encoders that are known to be compatible with the AKD:
