The EL5001-0090 EtherCAT Terminal is an SSI master and enables the direct connection of an absolute encoder with SSI (synchronous serial interface). Both singleturn and multiturn encoders are supported. The 24 V supply of the encoder can be provided directly via the terminal connection points.
The EL5101-0011 EtherCAT Terminal is an interface for the direct connection of incremental encoders with differential signals (RS422). It processes the signals for a finer resolution of position values according to the oversampling principle. The 5 V and 24 V supply of the encoder can be provided directly via the terminal connection points.
