1. What is BiSS? Introduced at Hannover April 2002 Today there are more than 120 OEM licensees Open standard, non-proprietary protocol Fast, safe, synchronous serial “2-wire” link (10 Mbit/s) Isochronous real-time data acquisition Efficient transmission Networking capable: 8 devices per master

2. Industrial control systems overview Motor control is only as good as the motor-to- drive feedback

3. The Evolution of Precision Control Incremental Resolver Absolute + Sin/Cos Absolute High Speed Digital Serial

4. Achieving Superior Motor Feedback A wish-list of items that are most desirable in a perfect system. –Non-proprietary encoder protocol –Instantaneous updates on encoder position –Precision beyond the mechanical capability of the system –Noise immunity over long cable runs –Reduced total cost of ownership (cables, drives, electronics)
