Product Description

The Beckhoff EJ5042-0010 is a versatile module designed to facilitate efficient communication with absolute encoders using BiSS-C or SSI interfaces. It features a dual-channel encoder interface, supporting both singleturn and multiturn encoders. It features a BiSS-C interface, which allows data to be sent from the encoder to the module without the need for feedback. The use of BiSS-C ensures efficient data transfer with low latency, providing reliable and precise positional information. The unit has a high speed transmission rate, supporting transfer rates of up to 10 MHz. This allows swift updates on position data and system status. The module is designed to support distributed clocks which allows for precise synchronization of data transmission across multiple modules in a network.

The module is optimized to offer enhanced usability with an adjustable baud rate that allows users to configure the communication speed according to their specific needs. It also supports customizable data length, enabling efficient data transfer tailored to the requirements of the connected encoders. The module is equipped with two status bits, which can be evaluated separately for error and warning conditions. This helps in troubleshooting by allowing real-time monitoring of the encoder's health and status.

The EJ5042-0010 EtherCAT plug-in module operates effectively in a temperature range of 0 to +55°C and can be stored at temperatures from -25 to +85°C. It is designed to withstand relative humidity levels of up to 95%, provided there is no condensation. This robust temperature and humidity tolerance ensures reliable performance in diverse environments. It features a small form factor that makes installation simple even in setups where space is limited. The unit is CE-certified, indicating high performance and safety standards.
