Product Description:
The EL2202 is a 2-channel digital output terminal that is part of the EL EtherCAT Terminal series and is produced by Beckhoff. EtherCAT, a high-performance, real-time Ethernet communication protocol, is used in this series to provide effective and coordinated data flow between different automation devices. In particular, the EL2202 uses a 4-wire connection technique, which minimizes interference and voltage drop by separating power and signal lines, ensuring strong and dependable signal transmission. In industrial settings with frequent noise and lengthy wire lengths, this is essential. With a nominal voltage of 24 V DC, this terminal can accommodate a tolerance of -15% to +20%. Because of its adaptability, it can operate efficiently over a variety of voltage variations, guaranteeing steady performance even in situations with less-than-ideal power. Ohmic, inductive, and light loads are just a few of the load types that the EL2202 is designed to manage.
Like resistors, ohmic loads show a linear correlation between current and voltage. On the other hand, magnetic fields produced by inductive loads, including solenoids and motors, resist variations in current. Because of their different resistance qualities, lamp loads provide an additional set of difficulties. The EL2202's adaptability in industrial automation applications is shown by its capacity to handle these various load types. The EL2202's maximum output current of 0.5 A per channel is one of its primary performance features. The maximum electrical current that each output may safely provide to the linked load is indicated by this. If this limit is exceeded, the terminal or the load may overheat and suffer damage.
The switching time of the EL2202 is less than one µs. The output's ability to switch between on and off states is referred to here. Applications needing precise timing and control, such fast-acting valve control or high-speed pick-and-place operations, depend on such quick switching capabilities. One of the many safety features built into the EL2202 is reverse voltage protection, which protects the terminal from harm in the event of an unintentional reversal of polarity. Additionally, it provides short-circuit protection, which limits the current in the case of a short circuit to shield the terminal from harm. The EL2202's dependability and durability in harsh industrial environments are facilitated by these safeguards. For further assurance and peace of mind, Wake Industrial provides a one-year warranty on this product.
Frequently Asked Questions about EL2202:
Q: What is the EL2202 Beckhoff EtherCAT Terminal?
A: The EL2202 is a 2-channel digital output terminal that is part of the Beckhoff EL EtherCAT Terminal Series. It utilizes 4-wire connection technology, making it suitable for a variety of industrial automation applications. This terminal is designed to operate at a nominal voltage of 24 V DC, with a tolerance of -15% to +20%, accommodating fluctuations in power supply conditions.
Q: What types of loads can the EL2202 support?
A: The EL2202 can support various load types, including ohmic, inductive, and lamp loads. Ohmic loads, like resistors, exhibit a direct correlation between voltage and current. Inductive loads, such as motors, create magnetic fields that can affect current flow. Lamp loads can vary in resistance, presenting unique challenges. The EL2202's versatility in handling these load types makes it ideal for diverse applications in industrial settings.
Q: What is the maximum output current of the EL2202?
A: The EL2202 terminal has a maximum output current of 0.5 A per channel. This means that each output can deliver up to 0.5 A to the connected load without risk of overheating or damage. Exceeding this current could jeopardize the terminal's integrity and the connected device. It is crucial to operate within this limit for reliable performance.
Q: How fast can the EL2202 switch between on and off states?
A: The EL2202 features exceptional switching times of less than 1 µs for both turning on (TON) and turning off (TOFF) the outputs. This rapid switching capability is particularly beneficial for applications that require precise timing, such as controlling fast-acting valves or in high-speed pick-and-place systems. Such performance ensures effective operation in demanding automation tasks.
Q: Does the EL2202 provide any protective features?
A: Yes, the EL2202 includes several protective features to enhance its reliability in industrial environments. It is equipped with reverse voltage protection, which prevents damage if the polarity of the power supply is accidentally reversed. Additionally, the terminal offers short-circuit protection, which limits the output current in the event of a short circuit, thereby protecting both the terminal and the load connected to it.
