Product Description:

The Beckhoff EL4031 EtherCAT Terminal includes a single output channel that generates signals between -10 and +10 V to serve applications that depend on exact voltage signal control.

A 24 V DC power supply through power contacts delivers reliable operation for the terminal in different installation environments. The EL4031 includes distributed clocks as a feature, which maintains synchronization between multiple EtherCAT devices across the communication network. The distributed clock precision remains lower than one microsecond to deliver excellent precision in time-sensitive operations. The output delivers short-circuit protection because its load capacity exceeds 5 kΩ, which helps extend the system's reliability in rigorous operational environments. The terminal provides 12-bit resolution, which delivers accurate voltage output with reduced distortion and an output error lower than 0.1% of the end value. The terminal requires 100 µs to convert signals and suits applications that need fast signal updates. Power consumption at the E-bus reaches 140 mA, whereas power contacts maintain a typical current draw at 40 mA to optimize power efficiency.

The terminal features 16-bit process image bit width technology that makes it a perfect fit for systems using a single analog output. The device features additional functionality through its optional features that enable user-specific output value control with ramp features and user-synchronization to let users determine application-specific behaviors. The EL4031 operates between -25°C and +60°C, which makes this device work reliably in different environmental settings. The device proves suitable for various industrial uses, including factory automation as well as complex process control systems. It can be purchased at Wake Industrial with a one-year warranty.
