Product Description:

The EL2212 EtherCAT Terminal is designed for inductive load types exceeding 1 mH. This terminal integrates full-bridge push-pull output stages for efficient switching. These terminals are manufactured by Beckhoff. The product ensures consistent performance under industrial environmental conditions. The channel of the terminal delivers a peak current of up to 10 A. The holding current ranges from 0.2 A to 2.5 A per channel.

The EL2212 EtherCAT Terminal supports current-controlled outputs with the option for high-resistance mode. The timestamp precision in the EL2212 terminal is 10 nanoseconds. The resolution of each timestamp reaches as low as 1 nanosecond. The EtherCAT enables advanced multi-timestamping features for synchronized data handling and supports time-critical operations with minimal latency. The configuration is managed directly through TwinCAT System manager. It enables real-time response within automated networks using EtherCAT protocols. It supports side-by-side mounting using a double slot and key system. The compact form and standardized mounting simplify system integration. It operates with a 4-wire connection technology for reliable signal and power transmission. The current load on power contacts reaches up to 10 A. Power contact current consumption is entirely load-dependent. The terminal is protected by an IP20-rated enclosure. It maintains stability under a relative humidity of up to 95 percent without condensation.

The EL2212 EtherCAT Terminal complies with EN 60068-2-6/27 for shock resistance. The storage conditions support a temperature range from -25°C to +85°C. The EL2212 product offers precise control and durability for automation systems. The integration of advanced timing and current features improves process coordination. It is ideal for applications requiring synchronized signal output and robust load handling. The EtherCAT Terminals deliver professional-grade output control across complex systems.

Frequently Asked Questions about EL2212:

Q: Why does the EL2212 use full-bridge push-pull output stages?

A: These stages allow for efficient switching and energy recovery in inductive loads, minimizing heat and improving performance in high-speed automation systems.

Q: How does high-resistance mode benefit signal control?

A: It reduces residual currents during idle states, improving signal clarity and ensuring better decoupling in multi-channel configurations.

Q: What is the purpose of using a 4-wire connection in EL2212?

A: It separates signal and power paths, which enhances reliability and minimizes signal interference during high-current operations.

Q: How does the 10 ns timestamp precision impact system coordination in EL2212?

A: It enables fine-grained timing accuracy, essential for coordinated actuation in real-time automation processes.

Q: Why is the EL2212 designed to handle inductive loads over 1 mH?

A: The Inductive loads require controlled energy dissipation during switching; EL2212’s design ensures safe and efficient performance in such applications.
