Product Description:
The ELX1052 is a digital input terminal manufactured by Beckhoff for the EL EtherCAT Terminals series. Installed in an EtherCAT I/O station, it acquires the states of two field devices and transmits that information to a controller over the real-time bus. This arrangement concentrates sensor wiring at the machine while maintaining deterministic signal processing in the central PLC. The terminal can support automated material handling, packaging, and general machinery functions that require reliable monitoring of discrete field signals.
The electronics operate from a control supply of 24 V DC, and the module provides 2 input channels that use a two-wire connection format. A logical 0 is registered whenever the channel current remains at or below 1.2 mA, while a logical 1 is detected once the loop draws at least 2.1 mA. Protective circuitry opens the path if the current reaches the short-circuit threshold of 6.3 mA, helping protect connected equipment. Power distribution continues through two blade-and-spring contacts that bridge adjacent terminals, and the double slot-and-key profile supports correct side-by-side positioning. Field conductors are secured by spring-loaded clamps operated with a screwdriver, which reduces installation time and helps prevent connections from loosening under vibration.
Cable integrity is supervised, and a break is detected when the loop current falls below 200 µA. The housing has an IP20 rating, providing protection against finger contact and solid objects larger than 12.5 mm but no protection against water. It must therefore be installed in a suitable control cabinet. The enclosure measures 12 × 100 × 68 mm, allowing high-density stacking in control panels without requiring excessive rail space. Its polycarbonate shell provides electrical insulation while keeping the terminal lightweight. The unit snaps onto a 35 mm DIN rail that complies with EN 60715, allowing secure installation alongside compatible rail-mounted power supplies, relays, and motion modules without separate mounting brackets.
