Product Description:

The Beckhoff EL2794 helps industrial automation systems control multiple loads through its strong EtherCAT terminal that includes four power switching channels.

Each output channel operates in normally open (NO) mode to work with electrical power systems of different DC and AC voltage types. The device handles both 30 V DC and 230 V AC switching with a capability up to 2 A per channel for operating various actuators and signal lights. The model delivers dependable power output to switch up 60 watts DC loads and 230 Volts AC loads across different low-to-moderate power applications. It fits in a space of 24 mm and architects its designed for DIN rail mounting to simplify installation in control cabinets and distributed I/O systems. The terminal creates vibration-resistant electrical connections with its spring force solution that needs no tools to wire securely. Industrial systems often use a standard 24 V DC control voltage power supply, which makes it easy to standardize design activities.

The EL2794 terminal includes separate diagnostic LEDs for its channels to display switching status and help users find equipment issues. The device responds within 1.8 milliseconds at power-up and stays off for approximately 30 milliseconds to create fast yet secure operations. The product provides a way to handle 5 amperes of peak current for 100 milliseconds and defends against 50 ampere surges for 10 milliseconds of moments. The terminal prevents control system failures by using 500 V electrical separation between its E-bus and field potential terminals. The device meets global approval standards of CE, UL, ATEX, IECEx, DNV GL, and cFMus for use in industrial automation tasks across nations. It can be purchased at Wake Industrial with a one-year warranty.
