Product Description:
The EL4014 Output Terminal is developed by Beckhoff. It is an electronic module that is used for converting digital signals from a controller into continuous analog signals.
The EL4014 output terminal is very compact with the dimensions 12 mm x 100 mm x 68 mm which saves space in control cabinets. It comes with a distributed clock which supports time synchronized output for applications requiring precise timing. It is designed to be stored easily in harsh environments without damage in the range between -40…+85°C. The signal side is electrically isolated from the communication bus to prevent electrical interference or faults from propagating. It comes with pluggable wiring which allows for fast and easy installation or replacement without rewiring. It can drive low resistance loads safely and its output can withstand short circuits without damage. The module has a 12 bit resolution which provides 4096 discrete output levels for fine granularity in analog current control. Its body is made up of polycarbonate material which is a durable and flame retardant. It has a 8…9 mm stripping length which specifies how much insulation should be removed from a wire for proper connection.
The EL4014 output terminal range is 0…20 mA which is used for transmitting process control signals. It has a 250 microsecond conversion time to convert digital values to analog output very quickly. It has 4 number of outputs which means it can drive four separate analog channels. It is able to carry up to 10 amperes which allows it to power other connected modules. It is certified to withstand mechanical stress which makes it reliable in industrial automation environments. The module has less than 0.1% output error which acknowledges high output accuracy which is crucial for precision applications.
Frequently Asked Questions about EL4014:
Q: How does the 500 V electrical isolation in the EL4014 enhance system safety?
A: The 500 V isolation prevents voltage surges from affecting the E-bus or control system. It ensures the Beckhoff EL4014 operates safely in electrically noisy environments.
Q: Why is distributed clock precision << 1 µs important for the EL4014 output terminal?
A: High precision synchronization ensures consistent and accurate signal updates across multiple devices. The EL4014 achieves tight control in critical industrial processes.
Q: How does short-circuit protection benefit the Beckhoff EL4014 output terminal?
A: Short-circuit protection allows the EL4014 to withstand accidental load faults without hardware damage. It improves operational reliability and reduces maintenance downtime.
Q: What is the significance of 12-bit resolution in the EL4014 analog output?
A: The 12-bit resolution provides finer control and smoother analog output signals. It is ideal for applications requiring precise adjustments and output scaling.
Q: Why does the EL4014 have a 0…20 mA signal range instead of voltage output?
A: Current signals are less susceptible to voltage drops over long distances. The EL4014 ensures accurate signal transmission in large industrial setups.
