EtherCAT plug-in modules of the EJ series
The EJ5042-0010 EtherCAT plug-in module is a BiSS® C master and enables the direct connection of an absolute encoder with BiSS® C or SSI interface. Both singleturn and multiturn encoders are supported.
The extensive parameterization allows optimum adaptation to different encoder types.
Special features:
- unidirectional BiSS® C communication
- parameterization per channel possible
- baud rate up to max. 10 MHz
- separate evaluation of the error and warning bit in the process data
- position value output with up to 64 bits (depending on the encoder resolution)
- also usable as SSI controller
Via the distributed clocks function, the position value is read out exactly synchronously with other processes. If the distributed clocks function is deactivated, the EJ5042-0010 clocks synchronize with the EtherCAT cycle.
The use of encoder profiles enables simple and fast linking of process data for motion control applications.
