Whether for the measurement of workpiece geometries, checking dimensional accuracy or continuous quality monitoring in production: the range of uses of inductive sensors in LVDT or half-bridge implementations is varied.
The EL5072 EtherCAT terminal is used for the direct connection of up to two inductive displacement sensors and impresses with its large functional scope: setting of the excitation voltage and frequency, switchable input impedances and direct output of the measured value as a position value.
In this 20-minute webinar, Irina Koring from Product Management I/O presents the EL5072 EtherCAT terminal and its properties and shows, on the basis of a practical example, how you can quickly and simply parameterize the EL5072 to match your sensor.

The EL5072 EtherCAT Terminal is used for the direct connection of up to two inductive displacement sensors, which include measuring probes in LVDT and half bridge versions or inductive angle position sensors in RVDT version. The integrated excitation source provides a further area with various excitation frequencies and voltages. By internal switching and switchable input impedances, commercially available inductive sensors such as LVDT in 4-, 5-, 6-wire technology to half-bridge in 3- and 5-wire technology can be connected and evaluated.
