It supports various signal types and input frequencies up to 5 mhz. appliable for the following products el5101, el, el, el. the el5101 also provides a latch function and a 32- bit counter. in addition, the elenables the measurement of a period or frequency with a resolution of 100 ns. the el5101 supports high- resolution position measurement, period and frequency measurement, and touch probe functionality. the el5101 ethercat terminal is a single- channel incremental encoder interface for position measurement. two additional 24 v digital inputs are available for storing, blocking and setting the counter status.
you can find the full tech spec here in this pdf document. the pdf el5101 pdf document provides detailed information about the technical data, wiring, configuration, and application examples of the el5101. with the optional interpolating microincrement functionality, the elcan provide even more accurate axis positions for dynamic axes. 3 200mhz slew enhanced vfa the el5100, el5101, and el5300 represent high- speed voltage feedback amplifiers based on the current feedback amplifier architecture. the el5101 ethercat terminal is an interface for the direct connection of incremental encoders with differential signals ( rs422) or ttl single ended signals. the el5101 is a 1- channel encoder interface for the ethercat terminal system, which can connect and process various incremental encoders. documentation el5101- 00xx | incremental encoder interface. this gives the typical high slew rate benefits of a cfa family along with the stability and ease of use associated with the vfa type architecture. input frequencies up to 1 mhz can be evaluated.
