The Beckhoff KL5151-0021 is a specialized Bus Terminal designed to function as an interface for Heidenhain EnDat 2.1 absolute encoders. As part of the modular Beckhoff I/O system, it enables the direct connection of an encoder to your automation network. This terminal processes the encoder’s signals internally and provides the high-resolution position value to the higher-level controller. It is an ideal solution for applications requiring precise and reliable position feedback, such as in CNC machinery, robotics, and advanced motion control systems.
