Output clock lines (C+, C-) utilize EIA standard RS-422-A line drivers, while input data signals (D+, D-) connect through EIA standard RS-422-A line receivers. Configurable baud rates span from 100 kHz up to 2.0 MHz. Maximum data length reaches 32 bits, accommodating single-turn, multi-turn, and status bits with selectable binary, gray code, or raw data formatting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Performance Parameters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cfigure\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNX-ECS212\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOmron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJapan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.065 Kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShipping Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 x 100 x 71 mm (Shipping Weight 1 Kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Temp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 deg C to 55 deg C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupplied via NX Bus\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInterface Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSynchronized Serial Interface (SSI), 2 channels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSignal Levels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEIA RS-422-A line driver (Clock), RS-422-A receiver (Data)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBaud Rates\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 kHz, 200 kHz, 300 kHz, 400 kHz, 500 kHz, 1.0 MHz, 1.5 MHz, 2.0 MHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax Data Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32 bits (Binary, Gray code, or No conversion)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBackplane Synchronization \u0026amp; Network Integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSignal processing modes include Free-Run refreshing, synchronous I\/O refreshing, and task period prioritized refreshing over the backplane.
