    Question SL2-100 Protocol for scanner

    I heard that the SL2-100 protocol has higher resolution and is more reliable than the XY2-100 protocol when using long distance transmission, from customers in laser welding field. As I know it only has two lines DataIn+ and DataIn- plus two Lines DataOut+ and DataOut- and supports 20 bit scanner resolution. Has anybody an idea how the protocol looks like and works? Any documentations out there that describes SL2-100 protocol specification?

    Thanks

    SL2-100 is Scanlab Corporation Proprietary format.

    SL2-100 communications protocol "industry standard" (photonlexicon.com)

    No clue other then the fact that it will have encrypted sync sequence or be something like Manchester Encoded, thus self clocking.

    Protocol Data will have to come from Scanlab..

    Default waveform

    Hi Steve,

    Thanks for you information. I got a RTC6 card and is trying to figure out how it works by analyzing it's waveform. As you said, it looks like using Manchester or some encrypted Encoding.
    As the picture shows, one data-frame is 128 bits length and 10 μs time cost, but the encoding method is unusual. Do you have any idea?

    Hi GalvoMaker, do you have the protocol now? Thanks.
