The BECKHOFF EPP5101-0002 is a decentralized EtherCAT P Box module designed for the direct connection of incremental encoders. Operating as a 1-channel interface, this module is engineered to process differential RS422 or single-ended TTL signals. It enables highly accurate, high-speed displacement and positioning measurements directly in the field, eliminating the need for protective control cabinets.
By leveraging EtherCAT P technology, the BECKHOFF EPP5101-0002 combines high-speed communication and power supply (both system and sensor supply Us and peripheral voltage for actuators Up) in a single, standard P-coded M8 connection. The unit features built-in support for Distributed Clocks (DC), ensuring precise synchronization with other EtherCAT system components.
