Sick - IP251 UNIVERSAL SSI / RS232 SIGNAL CONVERTER FOR ABSOLUTE SSI SENSORS AND ENCODERS, MOTRONA CONTROL

Universal SSI/RS232 Signal Converter

This capable signal converter offers a small and low-cost, but highly performing converter for a wide range of industrial applications. This signal converter takes the information provided by a sensor or encoder with an SSI interface and converts it to a parallel signal or a serial RS232 data format. This capable convert ensures that it’s also possible to convert RS232 serial data into a parallel format.

Compact, this versatile signal converter unit has been designed as a compact module with 12 screw terminals, a 9-position, and a 25-position female SUB-D connector. The converter housing is suitable for simple and quick snap-on mounting on a top hat rail (according to the EN 60715 standard).

Suitable for single-turn or multi-turn absolute encoders and all similar sensors using a standard SSI interface (6 to 25 bits of resolution with binary or gray code). The converter can also operate in either Master mode (clock signal generated by the IP251 unit), or in Slave mode (clock signal generated by a remote device).

Signal Converter Features

• 18 to 30 VDC power supply
• Converts SSI data as well as serial data to parallel binary, gray code, BCD data format
• Linearisation facilities by freely programmable in-/output curves
• Additional facilities like bit-blanking, round-loop-operation etc.
• Parallel output 25 bits (push-pull, short circuit proof)
• RS232 interface for serial readout of the sensor data
• SSI: Master or Slave operation
