Product Description:
A complex piece of industrial automation equipment, the EL2502 EtherCAT Terminal from Beckhoff is designed to accurately regulate a variety of loads. With a weight of around 50 grams, this little gadget uses the EtherCAT communication protocol to exchange and synchronize data at fast speeds across a larger automation system. The EL2502's primary components are two push-pull PWM outputs, each of which can nominally generate 24 V DC. This voltage allows for flexibility in absorbing power supply changes while ensuring steady operation, with a tolerance of -15% to +20%. By ensuring symmetrical and effective switching, the output stage's push-pull design reduces distortion and permits fine-grained control over the output signal. For applications that need precise and responsive power, such as regulating motor speed or light intensity, this is essential.
The EL2502 is designed to manage a range of lamp, inductive, and ohmic loads. This adaptability comes from its capacity to provide 0.5 A of short-circuit-proof current per channel. The short-circuit prevention device minimizes downtime and ensures uninterrupted operation by protecting the terminal from harm in the event of a problem. Reverse voltage protection is another feature of the terminal that guards against harm from unintentional polarity reversal. The frequency range of operation for the PWM outputs is 1 Hz to 125 kHz, providing a wide range for managing various equipment and procedures.
For more precise control over the output power, the duty cycle—which establishes the percentage of time the signal is high—can be changed from 0% to 100%. The accuracy of the PWM signal is further improved by the high resolution of 9 to 15 bits. Because of its efficient design, the EL2502 typically consumes 150 mA of current on the E-bus and 30 mA plus the load on the power connections. This low power consumption improves system dependability by lowering energy expenses and minimizing heat production. Wake Industrial provides a one-year guarantee on Beckhoff's EL2502 EtherCAT Terminal. It offers a dependable and adaptable solution for a variety of industrial automation applications.
