The EL5152 is an EtherCAT terminal designed for precise position measurement and motion control applications. Here are its key features:

• Incremental Encoder Interface: Supports direct connection of two incremental encoders (24-V HTL) with A and B tracks.

• Dual Functionality: Can be used as an up/down counter or for frequency and period measurement.

• High Resolution: Offers microincrements for ultra-fine position resolution.

• Distributed Clocks: Enables synchronous reading of encoder values with high precision.

• Encoder Profiles: Simplifies linking of process data for motion control applications.

• Technical Specifications:

  • 2 x 16/32-bit counters (switchable).

  • Limit frequency: 400,000 increments/s (100 kHz).

  • Operating voltage: 24 V DC.

  • Electrical isolation: 500 V.

  • Operating temperature: -25°C to +60°C.
