Data Rate

The buad rate is the communication rate (bits per seconds) between the SSI sensor and the module's SSI channel. The baud rate selected at the SSI channel equals the frequency of the SSI channel’s clock output. You can configure the Baud rate in Module Properties → SSI.

The maximum baud rate that can be used for your application is limited by the transmission line length between the SSI module and sensor. See the SSI sensor data sheet, as well as the PointMax I/O Specifications Technical Data, publication 5034-TD001, for communication rate versus transmission line length information.

The time between successive SSI words can be configured in Module Properties → SSI → SSI Word Delay Time.

See the SSI sensor data sheet for the recommended delay time. If the sensor manufacturer specifies a value called monoflop time, use that value for the SSI Word Delay time setting.

The Baud Rate multiplied by Word Length and SSI Word Delay determines the data rate of SSI channel before filter is applied.
