The EL3255 EtherCAT Terminal enables potentiometers to be connected directly. A stabilized power supply in the terminal and the ratiometric measurement of the input voltage offer the preconditions for precise measurement. On account of its high sampling rate and together with potentiometer position encoders, the compact 5-channel EtherCAT terminal represents an economical position detector.
The Bus Terminal Controllers are Bus Couplers with integrated PLC functionality. The “Compact” BC5250 Bus Terminal Controller for DeviceNet extends the Beckhoff small controller series by a cost-optimized version in a compact housing. The DeviceNet Controller offers automatic baud rate detection up to 500 kbaud and two address selection switches for address assignment.
