Product Description:

Industrial automation systems use the Beckhoff EM2042 EtherCAT Terminal Module as a dependable solution.

The device supports D-sub connection technology for the 16 outputs, which enables operation with various industrial equipment that uses multi-pin connector valve terminals. The terminal maintains excellent performance by managing ohmic and inductive, and lamp loads in different operational settings. The EM2042 functions with a 24 V DC rated load voltage, which it can accept within the -15% to +20% tolerances to work properly with different power supply systems. The output channels have a 0.5 A maximum current rating, which adds up to 4 A across all channels for simultaneous device operation. Each output channel possesses a built-in short-circuit resistance that safeguards both device safety and operational life during system failure events. Incorrect polarity connections will not cause harm to the terminal since the device has built-in reverse voltage protection as a protective measure. Each output of the EM2042 includes low breaking energy (< 150 mJ per channel), which improves safety and protects linked components from dangerous voltage surges.

This terminal executes signal switching functions at a rapid speed through its standard TON (on time) of 60 µs and standard TOFF (off time) of 300 µs to meet time-sensitive application requirements. The terminal runs efficiently using 25 mA typical along with an X2-connected load and 115 mA from the E-bus, thus delivering energy efficiency for long-term operations. It has a compact integrated form that occupies 26.5 mm x 100 mm x 71 mm space and weighs around 90 g, thus allowing straightforward installation in control cabinets and industrial systems. It can be purchased at Wake Industrial with a one-year warranty.
