EL5101 Product Description
The Beckhoff EL5101 EtherCAT Terminal is a versatile and high-performance interface designed for the direct connection of incremental encoders with differential RS422 or TTL single-ended signals. This terminal is capable of handling input frequencies up to 1 MHz, making it suitable for a wide range of position measurement applications in industrial automation systems.
Engineered for precision, the EL5101 features a 1-channel encoder interface that can evaluate two additional 24V digital inputs for tasks such as storing, blocking, or setting the counter status. The terminal also provides an error message output for connected encoders, which can be evaluated via the status input, ensuring reliable operation and quick troubleshooting.
With a supply voltage of 5V DC for the encoder and 24V DC for power contacts, the EL5101 is designed to be both energy-efficient and robust. The terminal includes a counter that can be switched between 16/32 bits, offering flexibility in application. The limit frequency of 4 million increments per second, with 4-fold evaluation, allows for high-speed data processing and accurate position tracking.
The EL5101 also boasts features such as wire breakage detection, latch and gate functions, period duration and frequency measurement, micro increments, and timestamping of edges. These advanced functions provide enhanced capabilities for complex motion control applications.
The compact terminal housing with signal LEDs offers a clear visual status indication, while the pluggable wiring design simplifies installation and maintenance. The terminal is also equipped with distributed clocks for synchronised data acquisition across the EtherCAT network.
Constructed with a poly carbonate material, the EL5101 is durable and has an electrical isolation of 500V between the E-bus and field potential. It operates within a temperature range of -25 to +60°C and can withstand the rigours of industrial environments, as evidenced by its compliance with relevant vibration, shock, and EMC standards.
Overall, the Beckhoff EL5101 EtherCAT Terminal is a reliable and efficient solution for integrating incremental encoders into automation systems, providing precise position measurement and control for a variety of industrial applications.
