Beckhoff EL5032-0090 | EtherCAT Terminal, 2-channel encoder interface, EnDat® 2.2

The EL5032-0090 is used for direct connection of two encoders with EnDat®

2.2 interface. The bidirectional interface enables automatic readout of

position values, diagnostic data as well as internal and external temperature

values and the electronic nameplate of the encoder.

In addition, the EL5032-0090 provides an encoder supply of 5 V or optionally

9 V.

The EL5032-0090 also supports TwinSAFE SC (TwinSAFE Single Channel).

Thereby it is possible to make use of standard signals for safety tasks in any

network or fieldbus.

Extensive functions enable a cost-effective and shortened commissioning.

Special features:

• automatic reading of the electronic type plate

• saving of user-defined data in the encoder

• position value output with up to 48 bits (depending on the encoder resolution)

• integrated speed calculation

• integrated sensor supply

Via the distributed clocks function, the position value is read out exactly

synchronously with other processes. If the distributed clocks function is

deactivated, the EL5032-0090 clocks synchronize with the EtherCAT cycle 

The use of encoder profiles enables simple and fast linking of process data for

motion control applications.
