Introduction

Fig. 10: EL1512
Up/down counter 24 V
DC
The up/down counter counts binary pulses, and transmits the counter state, in an electrically isolated form, to
the higher-level automation device.
The EL1512 EtherCAT Terminal can alternatively be operated as:
• a single-channel counter (32 bit) that can be toggled between counting up and down via the U/D input
• a single-channel counter (32 bit) that is controlled via the gate connection
• two separate logic counters (32 bit) that can count in one direction only with the Clock 1 and Clock 2
inputs (delivery state)
The signal state of the inputs and outputs is indicated by light emitting diodes.
The EL1512 is particularly suitable for simple counting tasks such as the connection of a flow meter.
