Beckhoff Automation ie5109

The IE5109 module is an interface for the direct connection of incremental encoders with differential inputs (RS485) or with single inputs. A 16?bit counter with a quadrature decoder and a 16?bit latch for the zero pulse can be read, set or enabled. The inputs can optionally be used as complementary or as single inputs. Incremental encoders with alarm outputs can be connected at the interface°Øs status input. Interval measurement with a resolution of 200?ns is possible. The gate input allows the counter to be halted (high = stop). The value is read with a rising edge at the latch input.
