Synchronous and asynchronous operation

Synchronous operation
A uniform and brief timing is often required for control
applications. The position delay t
and constant as possible. Synchronous operation is thus
intended for closed control loops. Here, the internal
sensing cycle adjusts itself to the external sampling cycle.

Asynchronous operation
During asynchronous operation, the external sampling
frequency is independent of the internal sampling
frequency of the BTL. Depending on the external query
point, the position is more or less current and the position
delay t is not constant. In the worst case, it is equal to the
D
internal sampling period. The BTL always works with the
maximum possible internal sampling frequency. Due to the
measuring principle, the maximum sampling frequency
f is dependent on the nominal length of the BTL.

Two boundary conditions must be taken into account
during synchronous operation:
– The external sampling frequency f
range 62.5 Hz < f < f

– The sampling frequency must be kept as constant as
possible.
The sampling frequency is the reciprocal value of
the time between two clock packages and may
not be confused with the SSI clock frequency.

external sampling in asynchronous operation:
