BiSS POWER SUPPLY CONTROL
The MB4U supplies VB and VDD voltages with allocating and initializing the adapter. With closing the
adapter resource or the software the voltages are
turned off to permit a safe unplugging of connected de-
vices. The unpowering of VB and VDD requires a non
volatile content storaging before closing the interface
adapter in any software environment.
BiSS MASTER IP MB100
The MB4U is based on the MB100 BiSS master IP.
With this implementation it is possible to connect one
or more BiSS C devices or a single SSI device to
the adapter. BiSS C protocol is fully supported. The
adapter supports an unlimited count of BiSS C slave
devices.
With BiSS there is 10 MBit/s RS422 maximum clocking
available. The SSI protocol is also configurable.
With high speed buffered transfer the real-time measured data can be block-wise transferred to a Windows
PC application for analysis, documentation, data processing, etc..
BiSS SOFTWARE ENVIRONMENT
iC-Haus Evaluation Software
iC-Haus BiSS software for PCs running on Windows operating systems as well as the required USB and/or
LPT driver are available as a ZIP file. iC-Haus software built with LabVIEW™requires the installation of the
LabVIEW™Run-Time Engine (RTE).
MB4U capable software and product DLLs are available on request (BiSS Reader GUI, iC-MN GUI, iC-LGC GUI,
iC-NQC GUI, iC-MH GUI).
iC-Haus BiSS Interface DLL
For custom software running on Windows operating systems the BiSS Interface DLL enables rapid software
development. Direct access to eval board adapter and high level protocol functions are directly available.
