Renishaw RESOLUT now with BiSS communication

Renishaw's new RESOLUTE absolute optical encoder is now available with BiSS-C high-speed serial communications.

BiSS is an open protocol that is available on a range of industry-standard servo drives, controllers, counter cards and encoders, promoting healthy competition between device manufacturers. With pure serial high-speed communications up to 10 MHz, BiSS-C allows motion system developers to take full advantage of RESOLUTE's market-leading resolution of just 1 nanometre at up to 100 m/s for both linear encoder and angle encoder applications. Absolute linear encoder versions of RESOLUTE with the BiSS protocol have resolution options of 1 nm, 5 nm and 50 nm, whilst RESOLUTE absolute angle encoders with BiSS protocol have resolution options of 18 bits (4.94 arc seconds), 26 bits (0.02 arc seconds) and 32 bits (0.0003 arc seconds). In all cases, the maximum speed is 100 m/second. The RESOLUTE absolute encoder range is also available with other protocols and like all Renishaw encoders is backed by a truly responsive global sales and support network. Furthermore the product satisfies the highest environmental standards, with both WEEE and RoHS compliance.
