Rocky Research Synchro System Module
SSM1160
The Rocky Research Synchro System Module, SSM1160, is a two-channel synchro to digital
conversion device. It allows a connection between legacy synchro systems and modern PLCs.
Rocky Research's SSM1160 contains advanced, custom electronics. The device is
programmable for custom firmware, as well as field programmable. The hardware is designed with optional
DeviceNet over Control Area Network (CAN) or RS-422 data outputs, and can support other communication protocols.
This allows the device to support the DeviceNet protocol for communication with programmable logic controllers
and other DeviceNet capable devices. DeviceNet interface allows communication over virtually any protocol. The
SSM is able to accept either 2 channels of 1x synchro data or 1-36x channel. Additionally, the module has the
capability to operate in 10 bit to 16 bit resolution. Currently the SSM-SD60/D only supports polled I/O operation
in the DeviceNet configuration.
The SSM1160 design incorporates Rocky Research's expertise in ruggedization of high-density
electronics; it is designed to operate effectively in the hostile environments found aboard Navy ships.
