Overview of functions

The functionality of the EL5072 is summarized in the following table. A detailed description can be found in the individual chapters.

Function	Description
Parameterization for evaluation of the measuring probe	LVDT, inductive half bridges and RVDT sensors can be connected and evaluated.
Filter function for mechanical cut-off frequency	The input signal can be filtered by specifying a mechanical cut-off frequency.
Direction inversion	The position direction can be adapted to the application.
Position value output	The measured value is output as a position value.
Position value overflow / underflow	Exceeding and falling below the maximum counter depth are displayed in a separate process data.
Set position value	The position value can be set to a specified value at runtime via the process data or the digital input.
Save position value	The current position value can be saved, independent of the cycle time, in a separate process data via an edge at the digital input.
User calibration	It is possible to parameterize a user calibration via offset and gain values or via a lookup table.
Diagnostic data	Different diagnostic data are available. In this way, a short circuit on the primary side and an amplitude error on the secondary side can be detected.

Process data	Description
Operation modes	The scope of the process data can be selected via "Predefined PDO Assignment".
Synchronicity mode	Frame-triggered operating mode (SM mode) and time-synchronous recording of the latch timestamp signal (DC latch active) are available.

Digital input	Description
Digital input	The digital input can be used to set and save the position value.
