- [SSI Hardware](https://evrtp.com/blog/ssi-hardware/): SSI hardware is fairly simple. Just use any RS-422 transceiver to generate the differential signals from/to the microcontroller port pins. Keep reading to learn about the different implementations of SSI hardware.
- [Implementation of SSI Interface](https://evrtp.com/blog/implementation-of-ssi-interface/): Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) is a widely used serial interface standard for industrial applications especially, rotary encoders. It is a point-to-point connection from a master (e.g. PLC, microcontroller or other control systems) to a slave (e.g. the rotary encoder).
- [How-to: 2 Point Operation of an Open Collector Switch Output](https://evrtp.com/blog/how-to-2-point-operation-of-an-open-collector-switch-output/): In this example, the switch point has been set to ‘Full Alarm’. By setting the switch point to 90% with an 80% hysteresis, the switch will come on at 90% and switch off at 10%.
- [NASA- Robonaut 2](https://evrtp.com/blog/nasa-robonaut-2/): Robonaut 2 (R2) is a state-of-the-art, highly dexterous anthropomorphic robot. The robot is designed to work with humans and has the ability to use the same workspace and tools. The robot joints incorporate dual encoders for position and torque feedback while performing in a dynamic application, vibration, shocks, and wide temperature range.
- [UAV Tank Level Measurement](https://evrtp.com/blog/uav-tank-level-measurement/): For maximum endurance and payload transportation capacity many UAV manufacturers turn to ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) powered flight. Electric propulsion has its place, but for maximum energy density batteries are not currently at the level of modern fossil fuels.
- [Introduction to Intrinsically Safe Sensors](https://evrtp.com/blog/introduction-to-intrinsically-safe-sensors/): Intrinsically safe (IS) sensors are unable to produce a spark strong enough to cause ignition. Learn how this is accomplished and design considerations when using IS sensors.
- [Dynamic Inclinometers](https://evrtp.com/blog/dynamic-inclinometers/): For applications where sudden movements, shocks, and vibrations are likely to be encountered, it is important to have sensors with fast response and a clean signal output. POSITAL’s dynamic inclinometers combine two measurement principles using two different MEMS sensors: a 3D acceleration sensor and a 3D gyroscope.
- [How To: Use an Open Collector Output](https://evrtp.com/blog/how-to-use-an-open-collector-output/): All new Gill level sensors come with a secondary output function which operates as a high or low level switch. So what is it and how do I use an Open Collector switch output?
- [Why Holistic Encoders are More Accurate](https://evrtp.com/blog/why-holistic-encoders-are-more-accurate/): All absolute rotary encoders have a rotor which is attached to the rotating shaft and a stator which is attached to the housing holding the shaft. The interaction of these two components produces a measure of the shafts rotational angle. The most important parameters of absolute rotary sensors are resolution, accuracy and tolerance to misalignment of the rotational axes.
- [SSI Encoder](https://evrtp.com/blog/ssi-encoder/): Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) is a widely used serial interface standard for industrial applications between a master (i.g. controller) and a slave (i.g. sensor).
