Product Description:
The EL1258 EtherCAT Terminal is a digital input terminal which is manufactured by Beckhoff for industrial automation systems. The terminal uses 2-wire connection technology.
The EL1258 EtherCAT terminal provides eight digital input channels and operates at a nominal voltage of 24 V DC. It accepts a voltage tolerance from -15% to +20%. The terminal supports signal voltages from -3 to +5 V. It also supports signal voltages from 11 to 30 V. These ranges comply with IEC 61131-2 type 1 and type 3. The input current is typically 3 mA per channel. This offers efficient power use during operation and the input filter time is less than 1 µs. Internal execution time is between 10 to 40 µs. It supports 25 to 100 detectable edges per second. This performance is configuration-dependent. The Beckhoff EL EtherCAT terminal has distributed clock support. This improves synchronization in time-critical applications. It includes the special feature of multi-timestamping. This increases the accuracy of time-stamped input signals. The terminal draws 6 mA from the power contacts. The terminal supports industrial standards for automation inputs and provides real-time feedback for fast control actions. It is ideal for high-speed automation tasks. The product is designed for quick DIN rail mounting.
The EtherCAT terminal offers stable performance and fast processing. It provides accurate signal detection in compact control systems. The EL1258 EL EtherCAT terminal is perfect for time-sensitive operations and it improves system responsiveness through precise input capture. It also consumes 130 mA from the E-bus system. This low consumption makes it perfect for energy-efficient setups. The terminal integrates smoothly into EtherCAT networks. It fits into existing EtherCAT configurations and maintains consistent operation under dynamic load conditions.
