The EL5101 is an EtherCAT interface terminal module for connecting incremental encoders directly to differential signals (RS422) or TTL single-ended signals. The module features an input frequency of up to 1 MHz that can be evaluated, two 24 V digital inputs for storing, blocking and setting the counter state, error message output from the encoder that can be connected and evaluated through the state input, and 5 V and 24 V power supplies from the encoder that can be supplied directly through the terminal connection point.
In addition, the EL5101 has the following features:
Integrated frequency and period measurement: Optional as a 5 V up/down counter with micro-increment to provide more accurate shaft position for dynamic shafts.
The high-precision EtherCAT Distributed Clock (DC) synchronizes the reading of encoder values and other input data in the EtherCAT system.
Save, lock, set counter and other functions.
The timestamp on the edge of the last registered increment.
Overall, the EL5101 is a powerful and reliable EtherCAT interface terminal module for a variety of industrial automation applications where incremental encoders need to be connected.
