Table 3-4 lists tests with various types of encoders. These tests were performed at Texas Instruments. The tests include reading position, reading registers, writing to registers. A 10 MHz operation is possible with up to 10-m in cable length. Longer cable lengths have also been tested at reduced frequency.
The maximum MA frequency depends on both the encoder and the encoder cable. The quality of the cable has an impact on the encoder's digital communication performance and achievable reach. For example, the power wires in the encoder cable may have a thicker gague to minimize the voltage drop for long cables. Typically, the encoder vendor will recommend the corresponding cable for their encoder. This cable quality is critical to work at 100-m or more cable lengths.
For guidelines for MA clock Frequencies vs Cable length, refer to the document BiSS Interface: AN15: BiSS C MASTER OPERATION DETAILS available from the BiSS Interface website.
