NX-series Incremental Encoder Input Unit NX-EC0@@@ CSM_NX-EC0____DS_E_6_6 Read position information from incremental encoders, synchronised with the control cycle and EtherCAT Distributed Clock. • Process encoder input data using the MC Function Modules of the NJ -series Machine Automation Controller. • The time when the encoder input value is changed can be read. This enables high-precision timing control in combination with time-stamp outputs. Features • Open collector output type and line driver output type Incremental Encoders can be connected. • High-speed remote I/O control with communications cycle as fast as 125 μs.*1 • Free-Run refreshing or Synchronous I/O refreshing, Task Period Prioritized refreshing*2, can be selected for refreshing with the NX-series EtherCAT Coupler. • When the MC Function Modules of the NJ/NX-series Machine Automation Controller are used, the encoder input can be used for motion control instructions as an “axis”. • Latch function (1 internal signal and 2 input signals from external devices) • Pulse Period Measurement • 32 bit counters (80000000 to 7FFFFFFF HEX) • Maximum counting rate: 4 MHz (Line receiver: 4 MHz, Open collector: 500 kHz) • Input edge time stamps • The maximum and minimum counter values can be set. *1. When using the NX-EC01@@ together with the NX701-@@@@ and NX-ECC203. *2. Task Period Prioritized refreshing is available when the NX-ECC203 is used together.
