needs in your system. Each module has a Module Status LED and each channel has
a LED for visual indication of connectivity.
The counter module EP-5111 can read one square-wave signal (1 channel) (for
example, from an incremental encoder) with a maximum input frequency of 100
kHz. The 32-bit counter can count up or down within a predetermined range of
values.
Specialty Module
The digital counter module EP-5112 can read two square-wave signals (2 channels)
(for example, from an incremental encoder) with a maximum input frequency of 100
kHz. Depending on the operating mode, both 32-bit counters can count up or down
independent of each other in a preset range of values. The counters can be
controlled via software by setting the appropriate control word.
The digital counter module EP-5212 can read frequency of one square-wave signal
(1 channel) from one or two external sensors with a maximum input frequency of
100 kHz. Frequencys to be counted are applied to channel CH0 and/or channel CH1,
the measurement will be started via control word 1 and 2 respectively. Measuring
cycles can be defined in μs. The longer the measuring cycle the more exactly the
measurement.
The digital pulse width modulation modules EP-5422 and EP-5442 are used for the
control of small motors with current requirements of 0.5 A up to 2 A which can also
be used for the control of valve flaps. The switching frequencies are adjustable up to
40 kHz and, in addition to this, the push/pull output levels can be used for motor
activation; for example: change of rotation direction. As with all modules of the RSTiEP system, the characteristics are outstanding – from the modular design and the
interchangeable electronics to the removable plug-in terminal strip.
The RSTi-EP station is usually installed on a horizontally positioned DIN rail.
Installation on vertically positioned DIN rails is also possible.
Modules should to be allowed to de-energize for a minimum 10 seconds after
power down, prior to starting any maintenance activity.
Refer to the RSTi-EP Slice I/O User Manual (GFK-2958) for additional information.
Refer to the RSTi-EP Power Supply Reference Guide, a software utility available on
PME V9.00, for detailed power-feed requirements.

Field Wiring
The connection frame can take up to four connectors, and four wires can be connected to each connector. The Spring
style technology allows for either finely stranded or solid wire with crimped wire-end ferrules or ultrasonically welded
wires, each with a maximum cross-section of 1.5 mm² (16 guage), to be inserted easily through the opening in the
clamping terminal without having to use tools. To insert fine stranded wires without wire-end ferrules, the pusher must
be pressed in with a screwdriver and released to latch the wire.
Connector Block with Four Wire Connectors
Connector Specifications:
• conductor cross-section 0.14 to 1.5 mm² (26 – 16 guage)
• max. ampacity: 10 A
• 4-pole
The pushers are color-coded for the following connections:
• White Signal
• Blue GND
• Red 24 V DC
• Green Functional earth (FE)
The modules do not have a fused sensor/activator power supply. All cables to the connected sensors/actuators must be
fused corresponding to their conductor cross-sections (as per Standard DIN EN 60204-1, section 12).
Refer to the RSTi-EP Slice I/O User Manual (GFK-2958) for additional information.
