EP1258-0001
EP1258-0002
The EP1258-0001 and EP1258-0002 EtherCAT Box modules with digital inputs acquire fast binary control signals from the process level and transmit them electrically isolated to the controller. The signals 0 and 1 are furnished with a timestamp that shows the time of the last edge change with a resolution of 1 ns. This technology enables signal curves to be traced exactly over time and correlated with the distributed clocks throughout the system. With this technology, machine-wide parallel hardware wiring of digital inputs or encoder signals for synchronization purposes is often no longer required. As a result, responses with equidistant time intervals, independent of the bus cycle time, are to a large extent possible.
