Product Description:

The Beckhoff EtherCAT terminal EL5151-0000 is part of the EL EtherCAT Terminal Series to improve the precision and efficiency of motions control. This terminal is equipped with a single channel quadrature decoder and is perfect for the 4-fold evaluation of signals that is crucial for accurate measurement and feedback in different industries. The terminal’s operating voltage is 24 V DC; it offers some sophisticated features like switchable counter with 16/32 bits options. This flexibility enables users to fine-tune the terminal to the particular application requirements – if one needs a higher numerical accuracy, it can be achieved, though at the cost of other parameters which are usually sufficient for most applications. Further, the terminal comes with a gate or latch function which allows users to store and hold measurement values at set intervals which is central in timed response and synchronization processes.

There is also offered microincrement capabilities, which makes possible to perform precise movements with high degree of accuracy at the EL5151-0000, especially in those tasks that require high precision in motion control. This feature is particularly advantageous in industries that have high levels of accuracy requirements including robotics, computer numerical control (CNC) machining and automated assembly line. Another feature worth mentioning of this terminal is that it is also possible to timestamp edges, which increases the chances of synchronization in complex systems. The terminal corresponds to an IP20 protection degree, therefore it can be placed in control cabinets or other protected locations from the dust and moisture.

All in all, the Beckhoff EL5151-0000 EtherCAT terminal is an optimal solution that has a high effective signal processing and a high reliability for the usage in precise and motion critical industries.
