MB4U

BiSS, SSI, PC-USB 2.0 ADAPTER

Rev C1, Page 2/16

DESCRIPTION

The MB4U adapters are USB based Windows® PC adapters with PC-USB 2.0 high speed interface and FPGA

logic system based BiSS master.

The BiSS to PC-USB adapters enable to connect BiSS or SSI sensors to a PC easily and at low cost. Multiple

MB4U BiSS to PC-USB adapters are accessible per PC system. The USB port supplies the adapter as well as

the connected sensor. The supply voltages VB and VDD are galvanically coupled to the USB. The BiSS/SSI

communication is accomplished by differential RS422 wires with separate potentials and cycle rates of up to

10 Mbit/sec.

BiSS Interface Functions and Features:

• Up to 8 BiSS slaves

• RS422 10 MBit/s maximum data transfer rate

• BiSS C, BiSS C unidirectional and BiSS B master

• SSI master

• USB 2.0 interface up to 30 MBit/s data transfer

• USB interface compatibility to 12 MBit/s data transfer

• Multiple adapter per PC system supported

• Adapter and devices can be supplied from the USB port, galvanically coupled

• VB and VDD are available with allocating the adapter via API or software

• VB and VDD are disabled with de-allocating the adapter via API or software

• BiSS and SSI master are iP MB100 based

• FPGA integrated 1st level RAM

• Time based SCD cycle trigger capable

• Available 32 and 64 bit drivers for Windows®10, 8, 7, Vista, XP, 2000

The device offered here is a multifunctional device that contains integrated BiSS C interface components. The BiSS C process is

protected by patent DE 10310622 B4 owned by iC-Haus GmbH. Users benefit from the open BiSS C protocol with a free license which

is necessary when using the BiSS C protocol in conjunction with this iC.
