B&R has extendedits range of plug-in modules for the ACOPOSservo drive family to include a module for evaluating BiSS encoders. TheBiSS fully digital bidirectional sensor interface is an open and license-freecommunication standard that allows sensor data to be read synchronously,securely and quickly. The BiSS interface is characterized by a high transferrate and reliable error detection.

ACOPOS is anintelligent servo drive that increases production volume, reduces productioncycles and improves quality with greater precision. With ACOPOS, B&R offersbus-capable servo drives for machine manufacturing in the power range from 400Wto 64 kW. With Ethernet POWERLINK, it is possible to operate up to 240 axes onone line using the same network.

Highlights of the BiSS interfaceinclude bidirectionalcommunication, secure data transfer, digitization right on the sensor and error detection.
