Product Description:

Beckhoff EtherCAT terminal EL4038-0000 has 8 analog outputs to ensure the highest accuracy with EtherCAT technology in industrial applications and is integrated into the EL EtherCAT Terminal Series. It is supplied with a 24 V DC power supply via power contacts, which not only brings stability and efficiency in its electrical connections but also versatility and a suitability for a variety of applications. A prime feature of the EL4038-0000 is distributed clocks for synchronization that has an accuracy of less than 1 microsecond. This high level of precision enables the terminal to be employed in areas where time is paramount such as motion control or manufacturing line facility. The 12-bit resolution of the terminal guarantees that every signal passed through the output is precise in the finest of detail and doesn’t require rough controlling.

Concerning performance, the terminal uses around 400 microsecond conversion time to process signals to enhance the general signal speed. It has a signal voltage capability of -10 V to +10 V to suit the various output requirements that may be needed. Furthermore, only an output error of 0.1% is produced by the EL4038-0000, which makes it suitable for the industrial control loops and the feedback systems to keep signal accuracy at its best.

The EL4038-0000 has a weight of approximately 75 grams and size that allows it to be integrated into bulkier EtherCAT networks without a noticeable significance. In terms of structure, the terminal reflects Beckhoff’s general approach to providing high-quality industrial hardware that is built to last. Also, this terminal is fit for the manufacturing, automation, and process control industries, where it is possible to serve as a key means to achieve coherent, high-precision results and manage the synchronization of control procedures.
