Product Description:

The EL9080 is a Beckhoff separation terminal designed to enable operation with different voltages in EtherCAT Terminal systems. The terminal acts as an isolation point between power contact groups, ensuring electrical separation while maintaining uninterrupted communication along the EtherCAT bus. The terminal separates and marks different potential groups such as 230 V AC/24 V DC, preventing voltage conflicts for enhanced safety. This makes it especially useful in applications where multiple voltage domains are required, such as complex industrial control panels or installations with mixed I/O configurations.

The EL9080 terminal offers enhanced operational safety with its 500 V electrical isolation that separates the E-bus and the field potential. The communication system (E-bus), which transmits data across the EtherCAT terminals, is electrically separated from the power contacts that supply voltage to the field devices. This effectively prevents interference or electrical faults from spreading between the control and power sections of the system, ensuring reliable performance in environments where differing voltage levels are used.

As a placeholder terminal, the EL9080 helps maintain a clean and organized terminal arrangement in the EtherCAT network. It comes in a compact 50g design that features built-in signal LEDs. This space-saving form factor allows for efficient use of DIN rail space, making it ideal for control cabinets with limited room. The integrated signal LEDs provide immediate visual feedback on the terminal’s status, allowing users to quickly identify faults. This terminal should be installed on 35 mm DIN rail, conforming to the EN 60715 standard. This makes it easily compatible with various industrial enclosures and control cabinets. The terminal is designed to function effectively at -25 to +60°C, maintaining system stability and reducing the risk of temperature-related failures in demanding applications.
