AD4B Communications Protocol

The AD4B adapter provides a simple plug in method for connecting a single ended or differential quadrature encoder directly to an RS-232 serial com port. One end of the AD4 plugs into a serial port, while the other end plugs into a quadrature encoder. A quadrature counter ( LFLS7166 ) inside the AD4 keeps track of encoder position, while a microprocessor provides a serial interface for the user to query the counter for the encoder position. The bidirectional data lines carry...  Read more »

SEI Absolute Encoder Communications Protocol

SEI Absolute Encoder Communications Protocol Data Sheet Each encoder on the bus is assigned a unique address between 0 and E. The host computer is the master of the bus, while the encoders are slaves. Encoders cannot initiate communication, rather the host sends commands and the encoders respond. The first byte of a command always includes the address of the encoder to be selected. Address F is used to communicate to all devices on the bus at once. An encoder responds by activating the...  Read more »


SEI Serial Encoder Interface Bus

SEI Data Sheet US Digital's SEI bus is a simple, quick and convenient way of networking devices to an RS232 serial port.
