Introduction

EtherCAT Terminal, 1 channel pulse train output, incremental encoder simulation, 24 V DC, 1 A, with capture/compare inputs and outputs

The EL2521-0124 output terminal sends a pulse train to downstream receiving devices, such as motor output stages. For this purpose, it has 2 output channels A and B on the hardware side, the relationship between which can be set, e.g. as a direction-dependent encoder characteristic. The EL2521-0124 supports two functions

• Pulse output with variable frequency
• Travel mode: pulse output with variable frequency and number of pulses

The EtherCAT Terminals indicate their signal state by means of light-emitting diodes. The LEDs are clocked with the outputs and each displays an active output.

The EL2521-0124 also has potential-free FET switches like the EL2521-0024, but is also equipped with a latch input and a 24 V output.
