Products Description
ANSALDO VME-SSI AVMESSI VMEbus SSI Encoder Interface Card in stock
ANSALDO VME-SSI AVMESSI is a VME bus SSI encoder interface board, designed for high-precision position feedback acquisition in industrial drive and motion control systems. It receives serial synchronous SSI data from absolute encoders and converts position information into parallel data for the VME host CPU.



This board supports multi-channel SSI encoder input, high-speed data sampling and hardware position latch function. It is widely used in heavy industry, steel mill and power plant drive control racks, commonly supplied as spare parts for old Ansaldo drive system maintenance.

FAQ
| No. | Question & Answer |
|---|---|
| 1 | Q:What is ANSALDO VME-SSI AVMESSI? A:It is a VME bus SSI encoder interface board. It reads absolute encoder serial SSI position signals, decodes the data and sends position values to the VME main CPU for closed-loop motion control. |
| 2 | Q:What is SSI encoder used for? A:SSI is a serial synchronous interface for absolute encoders, providing absolute angle/position data after power-on without homing, widely used for high precision heavy-duty drive control. |
| 3 | Q:Which system is this board compatible with? A:It fits standard VME racks and works with Ansaldo old generation VME drive controllers, commonly used for retrofitting and spare replacement in steel and power industry. |
