The EPP5101-0002 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 5 V directly via the M12 socket of EPP5101-0002.
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 allows measurement of a period or frequency with a resolution of 100 ns. Due to the optional interpolating micro-incremental functionality, the EPP5101-0002 can supply even more precise axis positions for dynamic axes. 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.
