EP5101-2011 EtherCAT Box
The EP5101-2011 EtherCAT Box is an interface for the direct connection of incremental encoders with differential signals (RS422) or TTL single ended signals. Input frequencies up to 20 MHz can be evaluated. Two additional 24 V digital inputs are available for storing, locking and setting the counter reading. The error message output of an encoder can be connected and evaluated via the status input. The 5 V supply of the encoder is directly provided via the D-sub socket of the EP5101-2011.
