I need a continuous, reliable encoder signal. What happens if the wireless signal is interrupted and loses packets of data?
SwiftComm was designed specifically for critical motion control applications. Its use of an Adaptive Frequency Hopping Protocol (AFH) helps avoid data interruptions due to frequency interference. If a particular radio band encounters interference, SwiftComm seamlessly hops to another open band. This technology decreases the susceptibility to interference, increasing overall reliability. Of course in the real world, signal interference cannot be avoided in all cases. Because of this, SwiftComm uses patent pending technology that can overcome data loss due to link interruption. Internally and transparent to the user, SwiftComm keeps track of the encoder’s output signal. If SwiftComm encounters packet loss from temporary link interruption, it fills in the encoder’s output information based on the historical data trend. It then processes this information in place of the lost packet. When a valid packet of information is received, SwiftComm determines any accumulated error and sends correct
