Product Description

EL5152-0000 is a Beckhoff EtherCAT terminal. EtherCAT is a high-performance, real-time Ethernet network protocol specifically designed for industrial automation. It enables fast and efficient communication between devices, making it ideal for applications that require precise timing and synchronization. The EL5152-0000 terminal provides an interface between the control system and two incremental encoders. Two encoders can connect directly to the terminal. The terminal can also be used as a counter. Special features available on the unit include per channel parameterization, microincrements, and frequency/period measurement. Via the optional microincrement function, the terminal can provide higher accuracy. Support for encoder profiles enables fast and simple linking of process data for control applications. Material used for terminal construction is polycarbonate. Dimensions of the unit are 12 x 100 x 68 millimeters. Its weight is around 50 grams.

35 mm DIN rails are suitable for terminal mounting. Flexible or solid conductors can be used for terminal wiring. Approved wire sizes range from 14 to 28 AWG. The specified stripping length is from 8 to 9 millimeters. The maximum load power contact current is 10 Amps. The IP20 rated terminal enclosure supports mounting in various positions. Technology used by the EL5152-0000 terminal is incremental encoder HTL 24 Volts DC. Operating voltage for the encoder is 24 Volts DC and is generated by the power contacts. The quadrature encoder only supports 4-fold evaluation. The limit frequency is 400,000 increments per second. Nominal voltage for the terminal is 24 Volts and the resolution is 1/256 bit microincrements. The E-bus draws approximately 130 milliamps. Relative humidity in the operating environment should not exceed 95%. The maximum temperature for storage and operation are 85 and 60 degrees Celsius respectively.
