Information About EL1512
The EL1512 is part of Beckhoff’s EL series EtherCAT Terminals, designed to provide high-speed digital input and counting functionality within distributed automation systems. It functions as a single up/down counter or as two independent counters, depending on configuration, with counting frequencies reaching up to 1 kHz. The counter values are transmitted electrically isolated to the control system, ensuring signal integrity and safety in industrial environments. LED indicators display the signal state of each input, simplifying diagnostics and system monitoring. The EL1512 is particularly suited for simple counting tasks, such as measuring pulses from flow meters, encoders, or similar sensors in automation and process control applications.
Key Features:
- Dual-Mode Operation: Can function as a single 32-bit up/down counter or as two independent up/down counters for versatile signal processing.
- High Counting Precision: Supports counting frequencies up to 1 kHz for accurate signal acquisition in real-time control systems.
- Electrical Isolation: Provides 500 V isolation between E-bus and field potential, ensuring stable and interference-free operation.
- LED Diagnostics: Integrated status LEDs indicate input signal states, simplifying maintenance and troubleshooting.
- Flexible Configuration: Automatically parameterized by the EtherCAT master, requiring no manual address setup.
- Standard Compliance: Meets EN 61131-2, type 1 input specification for industrial control compatibility.
- Compact and Lightweight: Small form factor with a weight of only 50 g, ideal for dense I/O cabinet installations.
- Robust Environmental Tolerance: Operates in a temperature range of -25°C to +60°C with 95% humidity resistance.
The EL1512 delivers the reliability and precision required for pulse counting, flow measurement, and signal monitoring in modern EtherCAT-based automation systems.
