The EL5152 is an EtherCAT Terminal designed for precise position measurement and motion control. Here's a concise description in points:

• Type: Incremental encoder interface for EtherCAT systems.

• Channels: Supports 2 channels for encoder connection.

• Voltage: Operates at 24 V DC (HTL standard).

• Frequency: Handles up to 100 kHz signal frequency.

• Functionality:

  • Can act as an up/down counter.

  • Measures period and frequency with high resolution (100 ns).

  • Supports microincrements for enhanced position accuracy.

• Integration: Enables synchronous reading of encoder values using EtherCAT distributed clocks.

• Applications: Ideal for motion control and precise axis positioning in automation systems.
