Product Description:

The EL2088 power module by Beckhoff functions as a control and switching device for DC loads used in industrial automation systems. Beckhoff maintains its position as an innovative machinery provider which fuels its continuous growth through high-quality products.

The EL2088 power module offers 8 channels at output for efficient communication in several domains. The channels run with standardized 24 V DC power but accept any value between 20.4 V and 28.8 V DC for stable operation. Security disconnections are possible because each channel produces less than 100 millijoules of breaking energy cutting down the risk of high energy dissipation. The module has standard switching time specifications which include 50 microseconds TON and 200 microseconds TOFF. The housing component uses polycarbonate as its insulating and strengthening material. The system integration using a double slot and key connection enables the remote mounting of side-by-side modules which provides proper mechanical alignment and fastening between adjacent units. Through its effective process, it works with diverse load types that extend beyond ohmic to include both inductive and lamp loads to serve multiple output demands.

The EL2088 terminal’s connection cross-section involves three wire types which include solid wires between sizes AWG28 to AWG14 as well as stranded wires with other ferrules types between AWG26 to AWG16 and stranded wires without it from AWG28 to AWG14. The installation requirements guide which wires to use from the sizes as mentioned. One wire connection at each terminal through connection technology both streamlines wire installation and achieves dependable electrical contacts. Stable outputs from the terminal make it suitable for managed control systems that require compact design together with reliable operations.
