Beckhoff Automation epp5151-0002

The EPP5151-0002 EtherCAT P Box is an interface to 24 V DC single-ended signals. Two additional 24 V digital inputs are available for saving, locking and setting the counter value. The fault signal output of an encoder can be connected and evaluated via the status input. The encoder is supplied with 24 V directly via the M12 socket of EPP5151-0002.   Special features: options for saving, locking and setting the counter integrated frequency and period measurement can optionally be used as counter microincrements functionality synchronous reading of the position value via distributed clocks timestamp on the last registered incremental edge   In addition, the EPP5151-0002 allows measurement of a period or frequency. Due to the optional interpolating micro-incremental functionality, the EPP5151-0002 can supply even more precise axis positions for dynamic axes. In addition to that it supports the synchronous reading of the encoder value together with other input data in the EtherCAT system via high-precision EtherCAT distributed clocks (DC). 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.
