Interface terminal for SSI encoders
The EL5001-0011 SSI monitor EtherCAT Terminal is used for monitoring the data exchange between SSI
master and SSI encoder (slave). The SSI encoder is supplied with power from the existing SSI master;
however, 24 V can also be taken from the EL5001-0011. The EL5001-0011 does not take an active part in
the data exchange.
The EL5001-0011 automatically adjusts itself to the frequency; the data width must be preset. Various
operating modes can be permanently set via the control register.
The latch triggering time can be precisely determined using the distributed clocks function.
