Input Status Input

If the encoder has an error signal or status output, in single-channel mode this can be connected to the Status input of the terminal and evaluated. The input is 5 V compatible.

The error signal or status output at the encoder is usually implemented with negative logic. This is indicated by the terminal as follows:

Encoder

EL5112 (single-channel mode)

Fault signal output

Status Input input
(0x60n0:06 "Status of input status")

Status Input LED

Meaning

HIGH level / output open

TRUE

Off

e.g. encoder OK

LOW level / PullDown - level is actively pulled down to LOW

FALSE

Red

e.g. encoder faulty

If an overvoltage is present at the Status Input, it is displayed as follows:

Fault diagnosis in case of overvoltage at the Status Input
at channel n

Display

DiagMessage, type "Error", text ID 0x8315

Error status input (channel n)

0xA0n0:05 "Error input status"

TRUE

LED: Status Input Ch. n

Red

Notice

Wiring of the Status Input

In the terminal the Status Input is internally connected to 5 V via a pull-up resistor (1 kΩ). The encoder output must actively pull the signal against GND. The resistance must be dimensioned so that it is less than 120 Ω.

External power supply is not recommended. If an external supply is used, the maximum permitted voltage is 5 V against GND.
