High performance with compact design: new EtherCAT Terminals for evaluation of incremental signals

Small and cost-effective incremental encoders have become indispensable in many applications. Beckhoff responds to this strong demand with the comprehensive EL51xx EtherCAT Terminal series for evaluation of 5 V incremental encoders with RS422 and TTL signals. Thanks to four new high-performance compact I/Os, the evaluation of incremental signals in the controller can now be implemented in an even more space-saving and cost-effective manner.

In this 30-minute webinar Irina Koring, product manager in Beckhoff's I/O division, will present the four new EtherCAT Terminals, which log incremental signals with high frequencies up to 5 MHz and feature numerous parameterization options and integrated functions. The presentation will focus on the advantages of the new EtherCAT Terminals, the different performance classes and the much-reduced space requirement. The function of the products will be demonstrated by means of a practical example.
