Product Description:
The EL2032 is a two-channel digital output terminal produced by Beckhoff within the EL EtherCAT Terminals series. The unit links field devices to an EtherCAT network and supplies external actuators with 24 V DC control power, allowing a PLC to switch solenoids, contactors, or signal lamps directly from the I/O system. By combining signal conditioning and bus coupling in a housing that is only 12 mm wide, the terminal reduces cabinet wiring and conserves space in distributed automation panels.
The rated output voltage is 24 V DC, and each channel can deliver up to 2 A, supporting moderate inductive loads without additional relays. Internally, the module draws 100 mA from the E-bus, so the backplane must reserve sufficient current for its logic and diagnostic functions. The output transistors react quickly, with a turn-on time of 40 µs and a turn-off time of 200 µs, minimizing latency during time-critical machine sequences. The terminal supports resistive, inductive, and lamp loads, providing flexibility for common industrial control devices. Integrated reverse-voltage protection safeguards the output switches if the wiring polarity is inverted, while open-circuit monitoring detects a missing 24 V supply or a broken conductor. If a short circuit occurs, the module disables the affected channel to prevent excessive current from damaging the output stage or disrupting nearby terminals.
Power for the output stage is routed directly via the E-bus, simplifying installation because the terminal does not require a separate power-feed module. The process image uses 2 output bits and 2 input bits; the output bits carry switching commands, while the input bits return diagnostic information for the individual channels. The IP20 enclosure protects against accidental contact with hazardous internal parts but requires installation inside a closed control cabinet. Its slim housing mounts on a DIN rail and supports any installation orientation, allowing the terminal to be positioned near the connected actuators when the panel layout permits. Status indicators provide visible channel information, making operating conditions and detected faults easier to identify during routine system checks.
