The SliceBus 2.0 technology was created to deliver many additional functionalities, in a price sensitive small frame.
Main Features:
Clock-synchronous operation in the nanosecond range possible
Integrated LVDS termination resistor
Asynchronous, serial data transmission with 192 Mbit/s over Point to Point LVDS physic
Many included features for I/O modules available (see below in specific segments)
Basic SliceBus Information:
Up to 64 slave (node) stations
Additional alarm line for initialization and asynchronous event communi-cations from node to Master
Full system detection from SliceBus Master without external information on module configuration
Error Detection Mechanism:
CRC code with Hamming distance 4 for every telegram (all 3-bit errors are detected)
Watchdog function inside every node for SliceBus Master observation
“Auto shutdown” in case of SliceBus Master malfunction
Retry statistic for early detection of possible transmission issues
Time Synchronisation:
Synchronized nanosecond clock for each node:
Option for clock synchronization from SliceBus Master to SliceBus Master via different protocols (PROFIBUS® DP-V2, PROFINET®, EtherCAT®, etc.)
Technological Functions:
Standard I/O function: 8 digital I/O or up to 32 I/O with shift register
Integrated digital input filter function
Asynchronous event signaling with nanosecond time stamping for advanced nodes
Two advanced counters with AB oversampling, latch, reset, output, hysteresis, compare value, repetitive/endless
Counting and Additional Time Stamp Information:
SSI function with time stamp information (speed calculations: counter difference/time)
Pulse width modulation with 20 ns resolution
