The EL5151 is an EtherCAT Terminal designed for incremental encoder interfaces. Here are its key features:

• Encoder Interface: Supports one incremental encoder (24 V HTL).

• Additional Input: Includes a 24 V digital input for storing or blocking the counter status.

• Up/Down Counter: Can function as a 24 V up/down counter.

• Microincrements: Provides ultra-fine position resolution.

• Distributed Clocks: Enables precise synchronization in EtherCAT systems.

• Timestamping: Records the last-registered incremental edge.

• Frequency & Period Measurement: Measures with a resolution of 100 ns.

• Encoder Profiles: Allows simple and fast process data linking for motion control applications.
