Product Description:
Beckhoff is a recognized manufacturer of automation technology and industrial control systems. They are known for delivering high-performance solutions and offering products that integrate seamlessly into modern automation environments. One such product is the EL2202-0100 EtherCAT Terminal. This terminal is designed to provide reliable digital output in compact and demanding control systems.
The EL2202-0100 EtherCAT Terminal has a compact terminal housing and includes signal LEDs for clear status indication. It comes with two digital outputs each capable of delivering up to 0.5 A current. The output stage is configured as push-pull and high-ohmic for flexibility in signal handling. The nominal voltage for operation is 24 V DC with a tolerance range of -15% to +20%. The terminal supports short-circuit protection with a peak current of 4 A for 150 microseconds. It has an electrical isolation of 500 V between the E-bus and the field potential providing secure signal separation. The terminal supports distributed clocks with a precision significantly below 1 microsecond which enables high-speed synchronization in EtherCAT networks. It consumes 130 mA of current from the E-bus which makes it energy-efficient for continuous operation.
The EL2202-0100 EtherCAT Terminal has a wiring design of solid conductors with a cross-section range of 0.08 to 2.5 mm² and a stripping length of 8 to 9 mm. The unit is designed for installation on a standard 35 mm DIN rail which supports quick and secure mounting. The compact dimensions of 12 x 100 x 68 mm help in optimizing space inside control cabinets. The terminal integrates easily into distributed control systems which offer consistent performance under operating temperatures between 0°C and 55°C.
Frequently Asked Questions about EL2202-0100:
Q: Why does the EL2202-0100 use push-pull output stages?
A: The push-pull configuration in the EL2202-0100 enables rapid switching and strong voltage drive, making it ideal for dynamic digital signal applications in industrial automation.
Q: How does the high-ohmic output configuration enhance system performance?
A: The high-ohmic output stage reduces leakage current and enhances signal integrity, which is particularly beneficial in applications requiring precise voltage control and low interference.
Q: What is the advantage of distributed clocks in the EL2202-0100?
A: The distributed clocks feature provides sub-microsecond synchronization across EtherCAT nodes, enabling deterministic communication essential for high-speed motion and process control.
Q: How does the EL2202-0100 handle short-circuit events?
A: The short-circuit protection in the EL2202-0100 allows it to tolerate peak currents of 4 A for 150 µs, thereby safeguarding the terminal during transient overloads.
Q: What is the importance of the 8–9 mm stripping length for wiring the EL2202-0100?
A: The specified stripping length ensures secure conductor contact within the terminal block, reducing the risk of poor connections or signal degradation.
