Introduction
Incremental encoder interface, 24 V HTL, 100 kHz
Two 32-bit counters with quadrature encoder can be read and set with the EL5152. The EL5152 supports the synchronous reading of the encoder value, together with other input data, into the EtherCAT system via high precision EtherCAT Distributed Clocks (DC).
The measurement of period and frequency is possible.
With a moving axis, the micro-increment functionality offers 256 times higher axis position resolution than physically provided by the encoder.
The EL5152 can also be used as a single-channel 32/16-bit counter on channels A1 and A2; the levels on channels B1 and B2 then set the counting direction.
