TEAM EEIx: Encoder-Interface-Box

The TEAM product line by TETRA includes EtherCAT®-slaves for sensor signal processing, drive control and boards for customer EtherCAT®-slave development. These products are characterised by their outstanding system performance, quick setup process and ease of use. All TEAM devices are based on the following characteristics:

• EtherCAT® with CoE (CAN application protocol over EtherCAT®) via RJ45 connectors
• Tested cyclic process data transmission with cycle times of ≥ 100µs
• Distributed Clock for the highest synchronization of data processing 
• Robust metal housing for optimum shielding of the electronics
• 24VDC power supply

The TEAM EEIx devices provide one (1) or three (3) input channels for 1Vss incremental encoder signals. The periods of the sensor signals are counted and a fine position will be added by interpolating the sine signals. The main features are:

• 14 Bit ADC resolution
• 8192 steps per sinus period
• online signal correction of amplitude, offset, phase between sinus and cosine for each channel
• sinus signal frequency of up to 150kHz
