Encoder Bridge Configurator

SAS IntelliLink™ Encoder Bridge

Define encoder input, one or two output ports, voltages and diagnostics — then download a PDF or send the configuration to SAS.

Encoder signal converter lab testing — IntelliLink Encoder Bridge configurator context
Configure encoder input and output ports, then send the spec to SAS.

Configuration Tool Encoder Bridge

Build your encoder signal converter specification

Select input, output port 1, and optionally output port 2 for a dual bridge (for example BiSS-C in, BiSS-C out, HTL on the second port). The dropdowns use the full 26-protocol catalog — same options in and out. Download a branded PDF or send the spec to SAS.

RS485 & SIL Console — live diagnostic view

The RS485 port is a dedicated supervision link to SAS SIL Console for Encoder Bridges. Encoder telegrams, conversion status, and bridge health are exposed in real time — independently of the production output to your PLC or CNC.

Acceptance & commissioning. During FAT, SAT, and line prove-out, engineers can trace the full signal path: raw protocol frames, CRC results, resolved position, index events, and fault flags — in one session, without tapping the machine interface or adding external analyzers.

  • CRC status — frame and telegram integrity
  • Protocol binary — raw encoder frame view
  • Absolute position — resolved position value
  • Error & alarm flags — fault and warning status
  • Z counter — index and reference mark events
  • Turn / revolution counter — multi-turn count
  • Line speed — RS485 link baud rate and comms status
  • Bridge operating status — power, mode and readiness
  • Encoder link quality — input signal health
  • Frame sequence counter — telegram sequence tracking
  • Cycle time — update interval and processing latency

All parameters above are available through SIL Console over RS485. No additional diagnostic channel or register configuration is required on the bridge — specify RS485 where acceptance testing needs documented encoder-path verification.

FAQ

Questions plant engineers ask

Practical answers on encoder converter sizing — from Sharjah, for plants in the UAE and GCC.

What is this configurator for?

To capture input signal, output port 1, optional output port 2, and voltages so SAS can quote the correct Encoder Bridge — including dual-output builds. Input and output dropdowns use the same 26-protocol catalog.

Which protocols can I select?

The same 26 protocols on every port: square wave (TTL RS-422, HTL, Open Collector), analogue (1 Vpp, 11 µA), EnDat 2.1/2.2/2.22, BiSS-C, SSI, SPI, HIPERFACE / HIPERFACE DSL, Tamagawa, Panasonic, Yaskawa, Mitsubishi and Fanuc Serial, plus EtherCAT, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, CANopen, PROFIBUS, DeviceNet, Modbus RTU/TCP and IO-Link.

How do dual-output bridges work?

One encoder input can feed two ports at once. Example: BiSS-C in, BiSS-C on port 1 to the CNC, HTL on port 2 to a drive. Leave port 2 as NONE for a single-output unit.

Can I download a PDF?

Yes. Download a branded SAS PDF of the configuration, or forward it into the contact form.

Is the output a finished product specification?

It is a structured enquiry for a custom build. SAS engineers the Encoder Bridge to your encoder, controller and voltages — including non-standard pairs — then confirms feasibility, version and lead time.

Do you work on site in the UAE and GCC?

Yes. SAS Middle East FZC is based in Hamriyah Free Zone, Sharjah. We survey, engineer and commission encoder converter sizing on site across the UAE and GCC.
