The EL1512 EtherCAT Terminal by Beckhoff is a 2-channel digital input counter designed for automation applications. Here are its key features:

• Functionality: Works as an up/down counter, transmitting counter values in an electrically isolated form.

• Counting Modes: Can operate as a single-channel up/down counter (32-bit) or as two separate counters.

• Counting Frequency: Supports counting frequencies up to 1 kHz.

• Voltage Specifications: Operates at 24 V DC with a nominal voltage range of -15% to +20%.

• Signal Inputs: Includes Clock, Clock1, and U/D inputs, which can be used for counting direction and gating.

• LED Indicators: Displays signal states via light-emitting diodes.

• Application: Suitable for simple counting tasks, such as connecting a flow meter.

• Electrical Isolation: Provides 500 V isolation between the E-bus and field potential.

• Installation: Mounts on a 35 mm DIN rail, conforming to EN 60715.

• Environmental Tolerance: Operates in temperatures ranging from -25°C to +60°C.
