Product Description:
The EL9178 EtherCAT terminal is a potential distribution unit used in industrial automation systems to manage electrical links. It is built by the company Beckhoff , whose technology is renowned for being strong and adaptable enough to deal with a variety of activities.
The EL9178 EtherCAT terminal involves every output capable of accommodating a maximum current of up to 10 A allowing for unvaried functioning in regular conditions. Its provision for nominal voltages of no more than 60 V guarantees sufficient compatibility between the terminal and standard low-voltage control circuit. It lacks signal processing deployed inside and bit width in the process image is set to be 0 meaning its sole purpose is for power devices. With a terminal width of 12 mm, it is applicable in installation into control cabinets with limited space. The proper wire strippings should be 8 mm to 9 mm for the process to be tight and free of cutting conductor. Based on a peak current capability of 10 A, the power contacts are intended to serve the general powering applications. Housing material is polycarbonate which aids in providing long-term implementable use and a protective shield from the effects of industrial fields.
The EL9178 terminal comes with an easy-to-install direct plug-in system saving time for installation and limiting the amount of wiring needed. The tiny 60 g weight places low stress and can work within DIN rails or a mounting base. Each output on the HD (High Density) housing has an associated signal LED for the operators to visually check the operational status.. It provides 16 output contacts for 24 V voltage by making it suitable for applications requiring organized energy across multiple channels.
