Product Description:
The EL1512 is a compact, high performance digital counter terminal which is a part of the EL EtherCAT Terminals series from Beckhoff. This terminal is designed to deliver accurate and reliable pulse counting and position tracking in industrial automation systems and is capable of supporting up/down counters with a 32 bit resolution. The EL1512 operates at a nominal voltage of 24 V DC with a corresponding voltage range of -15% to +20% and has an input signal frequency up to 1 kHz. Its connection technology is designed to support one up/down counter or two individual up or down counters, making it highly flexible for a wide range of applications.
This module is perfect for use with digital position encoders or counting devices where accurate feedback and real time signal processing are necessary. The EL1512 provides robust compatibility with industrial sensors and encoders with typical input current of 5 mA and signal levels of -3 to +5 V or 15 to 30 V as per EN 61131-2, type 1 standards. Furthermore, it is highly shock and vibration resistant as per stringent EN 60068-2-6 and EN 60068-2-27 standards, making it suitable for deployment in demanding and harsh environments.
The EL1512 weighs just around 50 grams, and is small in size and easy to install with an operational temperature range between -25C to +60C. It also has convenient counter reset function and is able to store precise count values, providing versatility for automation systems that need to monitor linear or rotational motion. The EL1512 can be used in conveyor systems, packaging lines, or manufacturing equipment, and it delivers the performance and reliability as described by the Beckhoff's EtherCAT product line.
