The open source BiSS interface (bidirectional/serial/synchronous) is based on a protocol which implements a real time interface. It enables a secure serial digital communication between controller, sensor and actuator. The BiSS protocol is designed in B mode and C mode (continuously bidirectional mode). It is used in industrial applications which require transfer rates, safety, flexibility and a minimized implementation effort. The BiSS interface has roots in SSI and a simplified INTERBUS. The proprietary standards, Hiperface and EnDat are competing solutions.

Application
โข Position sensor system
BiSS features
โข Open source
โข Hardware compatible for SSI standard (synchronous serial interface)
โข Cyclic reading of sensor data up to 64 bit per slave
โข Transmission of status data, parameter, measured temperature value, configuration description, etc.
โข Isochronal, real time capable data transmission
โข Bidirectional communication with two unidirectional lines
โข Point-to-point or multi-slave networks
โข Independent of the applied physical layer
Characteristics of BiSS C
โข Continuous sensor data transmission without interruption while using control data
โข Activation of actuators in bus during sensor data transmission
โข Broader standardization through BiSS profiles, BiSS EDS (electronic data sheet), BiSS USER DATA, etc.
โข Full compatibility of BiSS identifier (already defined in BiSS B)cite-ref-9[9]
History of BiSS in position sensor system
โข BiSS was showcased in 2002 by its founders iC-Haus GmbHcite-ref-10[10]
โข Since BiSS B is not motor feedback compatible, BiSS C has been preferred in the market
โข All patent cases against BiSS B were dropped in 2012:
โข EP 0790489B1: "Mode switching by frequency comparison"
โข DE 19701310B4: "Mode switching as such"
โข EP 1168120B1: "Block transmission of additional uncritical data"
โข Multi-cycle data (MCD) are no longer utilized in the position sensor system with BiSS
