Output Specification
ADSI16 for WS position sensors
· Resolution 16 bit, data transmission synchronous serial/SSI
· Optional available with 12 bit (ADSI) or 14 bit (ADSI14) resolution
· No loss of data at power-down
· Easy to connect to PLC’s with SSI input circuit
The sensing device of the ADSI is a precision potentiometer. The position information is
given by an analog/digital converter output serialized as a data word. Data transmission
takes place by means of the signals CLOCK and DATA. The processing unit (PLC, Micro-
computer) sends pulse sequences which clock the data transmission with the required
transfer rate. With the first falling edge of a pulse sequence the position of the sensor is
recorded and stored. The following rising edges control the bit-by-bit A/D conversion,
encoding and output of the data word. After a delay time the next new position information
will be transmitted.

Signal Wiring
Extension of the cable length will reduce the
maximum transmission rate. The signals
CLOCK/CLOCK and DATA/DATA must be
connected in a twisted pair cable, shielded
per pair and common.
