EL1889

Product Description:

The Beckhoff EL1889 is a digital input Ethercat terminal that is optimized for use in automation systems. The Ethernet Terminal belongs to the EL EtherCAT Terminals series and includes 16 inputs, which makes it perfect for applications with varying signal outputs. It is an industrial-grade terminal and runs at an operating temperature of -25 degrees centigrade to +60 degrees centigrade. The 1-Wire connection technology in this terminal allows simple wiring because it enables both data transmission and power supply through one wire. The 1-Wire devices function with distinct identification numbers, which enables the simultaneous connection of various terminals on one single communication line.

The operating voltage of the EL1889 is 24 V DC; however, it has a tolerance of -15% to +20%. This means it can operate within a voltage range of about 20.4 V to 28.8 V in an optimal manner, thus improving the flexibility of the terminal without affecting the performance. This allows the terminal to run with a high input signal without degradation, even if the voltage decreases or increases slightly. In industrial settings where fluctuations are common in power supply, it is considered an essential part of the system because it reduces the chances of faults, thus guaranteeing continuous operations.

The other important aspect about the EL1889 is the use of 1-wire connection system. This makes the wiring system easy to use because a single wire is used for each input channel, and it also reduces wiring errors. The technology is ideal where space is limited since it does not occupy a lot of space and adjusts the wires properly. It also means that signal transmission is reliable and the terminal is easy to use.
