Beckhoff EL5151-0021 | EtherCAT Terminal, 1-channel encoder interface, incremental

The EL5151-0021 EtherCAT Terminal is an interface for the connection of

a 24 V incremental encoder (24 V HTL). An additional 24 V digital input

is available for storing the counter status. A compare function can be

realized via a parameterizable 24 V DC output, which is set after reaching

a preset counter value. The output is switched independently of the PLC

cycle. The integrated workpiece measurement function enables logging

of the start and end values of the counter. The measurement is triggered

by the digital input. Both values are output separately as 32-bit values.

As an alternative, the EL5151-0021 can be used as a up/down counter.

The 24 V supply of the encoder can be provided directly via the terminal

connection points.

Special features:

• compare function via parameterizable 24 V DC output

• integrated workpiece measurement via 24 V digital input

• save, set counter

• optionally usable as 24 V up/down counter

The use of encoder profiles enables simple and fast linking of the process

data for motion control applications.
