EL5151
1-channel incremental encoder interface-
The EL5151 EtherCAT Terminal is an interface with 24 V inputs for the direct connection of incremental encoders. With the EL5151, a 32 bit counter with a quadrature decoder and a 32 bit latch for the zero pulse can be read, set or enabled. Alternatively, the EL5151 can be used as up/down counter terminal with gate.
The EL5151 supports the synchronous reading of the encoder value, together with other input data, into the EtherCAT system via high-precision EtherCAT distributed clocks (DC).
