As a partner of BiSS Association e.V., we offer services related to BiSS C, including:

• Consulting
• Microcontroller programming
• Integration of FPGA cores from iC-Haus
• Creation of electronic data sheets (EDS)
• Ready-to-use C libraries
• Certification of BiSS C sensors

BiSS C Properties

BiSS C is a high-speed sensor/actuator bus protocol that offers the following features:

• Precise timing for fast process data
• Compensation of signal delays
• Configurable data word length
• Embedded control communication (read/write registers, commands)
• CRC protection
• Up to eight slave devices connected in a daisy chain to one master controller
• Electronic data sheet stored on the sensor/actuator
• Automatic reading and configuration of communication parameters

BiSS C Speed

The data rates depend exclusively on the underlying physical signal transmission. With RS422, a master clock frequency of 10 MHz is realistic.

BiSS C Applications

• Motor Control
• Robotics
• Industry 4.0.

BiSS C Certification

A certification system for BiSS C sensors has been developed by Scherer Tech in cooperation with the BiSS Association e.V. and is available to the public as a fee-based service. A list of certification bodies can be found here.

Certification costs

Scherer Tech offers a certification package at a price of EUR 5,000. Members of BiSS Association e.V. receive a 40% discount, i.e. EUR 3,000. The package includes

• 5 test runs with reports
• 6 hours of consulting
• certificates

Certification process

Certification is carried out on representative samples of a BiSS sensor at our premises. Reports are created and sent to the manufacturer. Once all problems have been resolved and the tests have been passed, a certificate is issued for the sensor.

A certified BiSS sensor may be marked with the BiSS INTERFACE CERTIFIED logo.
