Product Description:
Beckhoff's EL2004 is a 4-channel digital output terminal intended for use in industrial automation applications. It is a member of the EL EtherCAT Terminal Series, which uses the EtherCAT protocol to provide accurate control and fast communication. This terminal ensures reliable operation even with power supply variations by providing a nominal voltage of 24 V DC with a tolerance of -15% to +20%. In industrial settings where voltage stability may be an issue, handling a broad voltage range is essential. The EL2004's ability to manage several load types, such as ohmic, inductive, and light loads, is a crucial characteristic. Its short-circuit-proof outputs let it to handle both reactive and resistive loads, which accounts for its flexibility. It is appropriate for a range of applications since each of the four outputs can manage a maximum current of 0.5 A. Usually, the short-circuit current is less than 2 A, which gives the terminal a safety buffer against damage in the event of a breakdown.
Furthermore, by guarding against damage from improper wiring, reverse voltage protection increases the terminal's robustness and dependability even further. The EL2004's energy usage and switching times further characterize its operating capabilities. Rapid and responsive control of linked devices is made possible by the usual turn-on time (TON) of 60 µs and turn-off time (TOFF) of 300 µs. For applications needing exact timing and control, this speed is essential. With an average current demand of 100 mA from the E-bus and 15 mA plus the load from the power connections, the terminal's current consumption is comparatively modest. This efficiency reduces the control cabinet's total energy use and heat production.
The EL2004 is also designed to endure the harsh circumstances seen in industrial settings. It functions within a temperature range of -25°C to +60°C, guaranteeing dependable operation even in very hot or cold conditions. Additionally, each channel on the terminal has an LED indication that shows the output status visually. This function facilitates system monitoring and troubleshooting. Since DIN rail mounting is a standard in industrial control systems, the EL2004 is designed to be easily installed and integrated into pre-existing configurations. Wake Industrial gives consumers additional peace of mind and guarantees the product's quality and dependability with a one-year warranty.
