Product Description
The IC800SSI228RD2-EE is a discontinued Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) Master module designed for GE’s VersaMax PLC systems. It enables high-resolution absolute position feedback by interfacing with dual SSI encoders (linear/rotary). Key features include galvanic isolation, programmable clock rates, and rugged industrial design for precise motion control in automation applications. Compliant with European standards (“-EE” suffix).
