Introduction
Incremental encoder interface, 24 V HTL, 100 kHz, with parameterizable 24 V DC output
The EL5151-0021 EtherCAT Terminal is an interface with 24 V inputs for the direct connection of incremental encoders. A 32 bit counter with a quadrature decoder and a 32 bit latch for the zero pulse can be read, set or enabled.
The latch input allows the saving of the counter value, selectively on a high or low level.
For workpiece measurement the counter values are acquired on positive and / or negative edges at the latch input and saved as 32-bit values.
The 24 V output can be set manually or via the compare function.
The EL5151-0021 can also be used as a single-channel 32 bit counter on channel A, in which case the signal level on channel B defines the count direction.
