EPP5101-1002 | EtherCAT P Box, 1-channel encoder interface, incremental, 5 V DC (DIFF RS422, TTL), 1 MHz, M12, sensor supply 24 V DC

The EPP5101-1002 EtherCAT P Box is an interface for direct connection of incremental encoders with differential signals (RS422) or TTL single-ended signals. Input frequencies up to 1 MHz can be evaluated. The C input can optionally be used as a latch input. The encoder is supplied with 24 V directly via the M12 socket of EPP5101-1002.

Special features:

• options for saving, locking and setting the counter
• integrated frequency and period measurement
• can optionally be used as 5 V counter
• microincrements functionality
• synchronous reading of the position value via distributed clocks
• timestamp on the last registered incremental edge

In addition, the EPP5101-1002 allows measurement of a period or frequency with a resolution of 100 ns. Due to the optional interpolating micro-incremental functionality, the EPP5101-1002 can supply even more precise axis positions for dynamic axes. The high-precision EtherCAT distributed clocks (DC) support synchronous reading of the encoder value together with other input data in the EtherCAT system. In addition, a timestamp is available for the last registered incremental edge. The use of encoder profiles allows the simple and fast linking of the process data to the motion control application.
