Product Description:
The EL1262 EtherCAT Terminal is a 2 channel digital input device for fast binary 24 V signals. It ensures high speed signal acquisition and transfer with oversampling capability. The module operates with minimal delay and supports distributed clock synchronization.
The EL1262 EtherCAT terminal features two input channels capable of acquiring fast control signals in electrically isolated form. It supports a sampling rate of up to 1 Msamples per second. The device uses oversampling that allows multiple samples per cycle at configurable factors (1 to 1000). Timestamp precision in the terminal is 10 nanoseconds plus input delay. Input filtering is typically less than 1 microsecond. The “0” signal range is from - 3 to + 5 V and the “1” signal voltage ranges from 11 to 30 V complying with EN 61131-2 type 3. It draws a typical input current of 3 mA. The terminal can synchronize with other EtherCAT devices using distributed clocks. This enables precise time alignment across the system with a distributed clock precision of much less than 1 microsecond. The terminal generates a process data block every bus cycle that ensures real time transmission to the controller. Its XFC (eXtreme Fast Control) technology allows the input data to be sampled and timestamped with high precision.
The Beckhoff EL1262 EtherCAT terminal is suitable for applications requiring very fast signal response due to its low input delay and high sampling rate. It operates reliably in temperatures ranging from 0 to 55 °C. The terminal weighs approximately 55 grams. It consumes around 20 mA plus load through power contacts. The unit supports oversampling and multi timestamping with configurable cycle time multiples. Special features of the terminal include support for extremely low input delay, multiple signal sampling within a single cycle and precise clock synchronization across distributed systems.
Frequently Asked Questions about EL1262:
