Beckhoff EL5001-0011 | EtherCAT Terminal, 1-channel encoder interface, SSI, monitor

The EL5001-0011 SSI monitor EtherCAT Terminal is used for monitoring

the data exchange between SSI controller and SSI device.

The encoder is powered via the existing SSI interface. The interface circuit

makes the incoming data stream available to the controller as a data word

in the process image. Various operating modes can be permanently set via

the control register.

The EL5001-0011 EtherCAT Terminal can be interconnected in an SSI

controller/device communication. It is used for passive reading of the data

exchange between SSI controller and SSI device (encoder). This enables

the current position value to be made available to other control modules.

The EL5001-0011 offers an optional 24 V encoder operating voltage.

Extensive parameterizations allow optimum adaptation to different encoder

types.

Special features:

• automatic baud rate detection up to max. 1 MHz

• coding: gray and binary

• data length up to 32 bit, flexibly adjustable

• separate evaluation of a status error bit (power fail bit) in the process data

Via the distributed clocks function, the time of data acquisition from the

encoder can be output via timestamp. The encoder profile allows the process

data to be linked quickly and easily to the motion control application.
