Functional Features:

  • 17-bit resolution — 131,072 positions per revolution
  • BiSS-C protocol — supports daisy-chain, diagnostics, and parameterization
  • Higher speed rating — up to 10,000 RPM (vs. 8000 RPM on S700)
  • Enhanced diagnostics — real-time temperature and voltage monitoring
  • Improved EMC performance over S700 series

Structural Characteristics:

  • Ø58 mm cylindrical housing
  • Upgraded precision bearing system for 10,000 RPM
  • Enhanced sealing for IP67 in harsh environments
  • M23 12-pin connector

Working Principle:
Identical to S700 series — LED illuminates a 17-bit glass code disk. Photodetectors read the absolute position. BiSS-C protocol transmits position and diagnostic data bidirectionally over a single differential pair.

Key Advantages:

  • 10,000 RPM rating — suitable for high-speed spindle applications
  • 17-bit resolution — four times the resolution of S700 base models
  • BiSS-C diagnostics — predictive maintenance capability
  • Drop-in compatible with S700 mechanical mounting

Applicable Industries:

  • High-speed spindles
  • Semiconductor wafer handling
  • Printing press rollers
  • Textile high-speed machinery
  • Robotics high-speed joints

Installation Requirements:

  • Same mechanical mounting as S700 series
  • BiSS-C compatible drive required
  • Shielded twisted pair cable, max 100 m

Usage Precautions:

  • Do not exceed 10,000 RPM
  • Verify BiSS-C termination in daisy-chain configuration
  • Maintain IP67 seal integrity
