The completely new hardware architecture and a system design based

on the highest security standards are built for long term use.

The function modules of the M100 series offer impressive performance,

state-of-the-art technology and a wide range of expansion options for

the best possible future. Make the right system decision today for tomorrow.

The EII102 combines many highly precise functions in a single module.

The module allows for extremely fast edge counting, measurement of periods

and pulse durations, and the evaluation of incremental encoders up to 32 MHz

for demanding motion and handling applications. Immediate reactions such as

latch, reset or counter enable are triggerable via digital inputs on the module.

An encoder supply directly via the module terminals completes the product family.

The EAS102 module type makes it possible to evaluate up to 2 absolute encoders.

SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface) is used as the communication protocol.

Furthermore, a parity check and the evaluation of transmitted special purpose

bits are supported. The counting direction can be defined via the V/R output.

Referencing is initiated via the SET output. Digitally transmitted encoder errors

can be detected via a separate input. If the actual position is reaching a configured

comparison value, module-to-module communication enables a digital output to

be switched at the adjacent module without any time loss.

Type EAS102 M100 modules make it possible to evaluate

up to 2 absolute encoders. SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface)

is used as the communication protocol.

The EAS102 offers the openness of an extensively configurable

SSI protocol. Furthermore, a parity check and

the evaluation of transmitted special purpose bits are supported.

The counting direction can be defined via the DIR

output. Referencing is initiated via the SET output. Digitally

transmitted encoder errors can be detected via a separate

input. If the actual position is reaching a configured comparison

value, module-to-module communication enables

a digital output to be switched at the adjacent module

without any time loss. An encoder supply directly via the

module terminals enables a complete and fast SSI encoder

connection directly via the connector panel of the EAS102

module.

● DIR output and SET output

● Input for detecting encoder errors

● 2x 5 V DC / 24 V DC / GND encoder supply

● Direct module-to-module communication:

– Immediate switching of DO at the adjacent module

when the target position / the comparison value is

reached

Incremental encoder and counter evaluations at the

highest signal input frequencies are managed in automa

tion tasks by modules of the EII100 series. The digital

sensor signals to be acquired are configurable, thus ena

bling the connection of a wide range of sensors.

The module allows the counting of pulse edges as well

as the measurement of period and pulse duration. The

module offers the evaluation of incremental encoders up

to 32 MHz for demanding motion and handling applica

tions. Immediate reactions such as latch, reset or counter

enable are triggerable via digital inputs on the module. If

the actual position is reaching a configured comparison

value, module-to-module communication enables a digital

output to be switched at the adjacent module without any

time loss. Thus function initiate a machine response. Inte

grated sensor power supply units for 5 V and 24 V directly

in the terminal panel simplify wiring.

Processor modules form the core intelligence of an automation system.

They collect sensor data, process control functions and closed-loop controls

in microsecond cycles, and issue precise commands to actuators.

The functions can be implemented in the traditional procedural manner,

derived from model-based simulations, or generated automatically with

generative AI. Sufficient performance reserves are crucial – for example,

to handle parallel motion control, image processing, state data acquisition,

and advanced diagnostics.

In addition, processor modules connect real-time processing with IT and OT

systems: via real-time Ethernet to the field level and other control nodes,

as well as upstream to the control room, MES/ERP systems, or the cloud.

Cryptographic methods, hardened system environments, resilient software

design, and regular penetration tests are indispensable for cybersecurity.

The non-negotiable basic requirement: reliable 24/7/365 operation.

This starts with the system design – using durable, robust components,

generous design reserves, and thorough testing during type approval and

series production. These measures ensure that the automation system

remains safe and autonomously operational at all times, even under harsh

environmental conditions and electromagnetic interference.
