Hi all,
I am trying to read the absolute position values from an absolute encoder into CtrlX via SSI, and the S20_SSI_AO_1_1 module connected via Ethercat bus.
Please find the data sheets of the encoder attached, as well as a screen shot from the StartUp+ settings I applied (via software from Phoenix).
Connecting it and trying out, I am getting the following behavior: upon connecting the encoder, Input_process_data.SSI_Position jumps from 63 to 0 and remains there, no matter how I turn the encoder.
When changing Output_process_data.SSI_Control to any even number between 0 and 255, the Input_process_data.SSI_Status is 0. For all odd numbers in this range, it jumps to 512. And all the while, Input_process_data.SSI_Position remains at zero.
Wires seem to be connected alright, also the green light for 24V supply to encoder on the bus module is active.
Any idea what I am doing wrong and how I should set Output_process_data.SSI_Control if at all?
Thanks,
Markus
