EL5032-0090

Two-channel EnDat2.2 interface, TwinSAFE SC

The EL5032-0090 EnDat 2.2 EtherCAT Terminal is used for direct connection of two encoders with EnDat2.2 interface.
The EL5032-0090 enables reading of position values, diagnosis encoder data, internal and external temperature values and the electronic type plate. With the electronic type plate all measuring device-specific information is directly available. In addition, the EL5032-0090 provides an encoder supply of 5 V or optionally 9 V.

In addition, user-defined data can be stored in the encoder. This enables cost-effective and quicker commissioning. The position value is output with up to 48 bits, depending on the resolution of the connected measuring device. In addition to the position value, further information such as status information, addresses and data can be transferred.
A list of additional information supported by the encoder is stored in the parameters.

The EL5032-0090 features distributed clocks, which means that the position value can be read in exact synchrony with the system. If the distributed clock function is deactivated, the EL5032-0090 cycles synchronous with the EtherCAT cycle.

In addition to the full functionality of the EL5032, the EL5032-0090 supports TwinSAFE SC (Single Channel) technology. This enables the use of standard signals for safety tasks in any networks of fieldbuses.
