How to Configure A BiSS C Rotary Encoder with an AKD

The AKD makes the setup more convenient for the user by not requiring them to convert the BiSS encoder’s bit resolution.

When using a rotary Renishaw BiSS C encoder the parameter FB1.ENCRES always requires the value 4294967295, which is (2^32) - 1.  The parameter FB1.BISSBITS must be configured by the user to the bit resolution of the BISS encoder.

  • Set FB1.ENCRES = (2^32) - 1 = 4294967295
  • Set FB1.BISSBITS = the encoder's bit resolution
