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

The EL5032 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 provides an encoder supply of 5 V or optionally 9 V.

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 clocks synchronize with the EtherCAT cycle.

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

motion control applications.
