The EL5151 is an EtherCAT‑terminal incremental‑encoder interface module designed for direct connection of a single 24 V DC HTL incremental encoder. It provides precise position and speed feedback, making it ideal for motion‑control and automation systems where encoder data needs to be integrated into an EtherCAT network.
Reliable single-channel encoder interface supporting A/B and optional C signals at 24 V HTL logic
16- or 32-bit switchable counter for flexible resolution
Supports input frequencies up to 100 kHz for high-speed applications
Integrated gate/latch input for holding or capturing counter values such as zero-pulse or trigger
Micro-increment/interpolation for finer position resolution beyond native encoder pulses
Period and frequency measurement functionality for speed/frequency monitoring
Supports EtherCAT distributed clocks for synchronous reading of encoder data
Provides 24 V DC supply to power the encoder directly
