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.
The following graphic clarifies this relationship:

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
than f .
A, max
– 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.
If no clock signals are present, no internal
measurements are triggered. The flashing red
LED indicates that the Clock signal is missing.
The following graphic shows the behavior of internal and
external sampling in asynchronous operation:
