Introduction

Incremental encoder interface

The KL5111/KS5111 Bus Terminal is an interface for the direct connection of 24 V incremental encoders. A 16-bit counter with a quadrature decoder and a 16-bit latch for the zero pulse can be read, set or enabled. The counter state is transmitted quickly and fail-safe to the PC, PLC or CNC over the fieldbus. Period duration measurement with a resolution of 200 ns is possible. Up to 64 incremental encoders can be connected to a Bus Coupler.
