EL5101 | BECKHOFF EtherCAT Terminal, 1-channel encoder interface, incremental, 5 V DC (DIFF RS422, TTL), 1 MHz

Description 

The EL5101 EtherCAT Terminal is an interface for the direct connection of incremental encoders with differential inputs (RS422). A 32/16 bit counter with a quadrature decoder and a 32/16 bit latch for the zero pulse can be read, set or enabled. Incremental encoders with alarm outputs can be connected at the interface’s status input. Interval measurement with a resolution of up to 100 ns is possible. The gate input allows the counter to be halted. The counter state is taken over with a rising edge at the latch input.

Information About EL5101

The EL5101 EtherCAT Terminal is an interface for the direct connection of incremental encoders with differential signals (RS422) or TTL single ended signals. Input frequencies up to 1 MHz can be evaluated. Two additional 24 V digital inputs are available for storing, blocking and setting the counter status. The error message output of an encoder can be connected and evaluated via the status input. The 5 V and 24 V supply of the encoder can be provided directly via the terminal connection points.

Special features:

-save, lock, set counter

-integrated frequency and period measurement

-optionally usable as 5 V up/down counter

-microincrements

-synchronous reading of the position value via distributed clocks

-timestamp on the last-registered incremental edge
