Beckhoff EL5001 Analog Output terminal

The EL5001 is a single-channel interface terminal from the Beckhoff EtherCAT Terminal series, designed for direct connection of SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface) encoders. It supplies the encoder with clock and power, reads the serial position data, and delivers the position value to the controller over EtherCAT. It is a compact solution for absolute position feedback in machine building, motion control, and positioning applications.
