The EL5152 is a compact EtherCAT‑terminal incremental encoder interface terminal from Beckhoff. It connects two incremental encoders directly to an EtherCAT network, enabling precise position and speed feedback for motion‑control and automation systems.

Supports 2 encoder channels, each with A and B tracks (24 V HTL signal) Dual 16/32-bit counters with switchable resolution and 4-fold quadrature decoding for high-precision measurement High counting frequency: supports up to 400,000 increments/s (100 kHz) for fast motion or dynamic axes Micro-increment/interpolation support for very fine position resolution Period/frequency measurement and up/down counting for speed or motion diagnostics EtherCAT distributed clocks support for synchronous reading of encoder data 24 V DC supply for encoders provided directly via terminal Compact, DIN-rail mountable, lightweight, suitable for modular control cabinets
