Product Description:

The Beckhoff product EL2828 is intended to serve as a digital output terminal to reliably switch and control multiple devices within networking systems. Beckhoff parts are used in businesses and mechanical sectors because of their exceptional efficiency.

The EL2828 EtherCAT terminal establishes two-wire connectivity which deals with industrial sensor and actuator standards. The slim structured design contains a 70 g mass to make the terminal easy to manipulate inside control cabinets where it does not require overloaded DIN rail installation. The EL EtherCAT series terminal includes eight independent output channels that make it possible to operate various actuators from a single connection point which optimizes both space utilization and wiring requirements. The system uses a maximum of 2 A current throughout all channels as its main operating parameter. The device protects against electrical damage by using a fault current limiter that reduces the channel flow to below 40 A. The device features a reverse polarity protection system which blocks incorrect voltage connections to stop potential malfunctions. The vertical mounting position grants optimal heat dissipation as well as basic protection against solids up to IP20.

The EL2828 terminal involves stripping length from 8 to 9 mm that specifies the ideal size of insulation to remove from conductors by ensuring secure and reliable functioning without risking exposed wire strands. Its load contact current of 10 amperes gives a maximum allowable value for the power contacts by ensuring stable operation and securing overheating or overload at linkage points. Its CE certification guarantees quality and regulatory agreement for use in global domains by indicating adherence to European safety, health and environmental requirements.
