Product Description:

The ES4124 EtherCAT Terminal is designed for precise current output in the range of 4 to 20 mA. The terminal operates with a resolution of 16 bits and ensures electrical isolation. It is suitable for industrial automation environments and supports high-performance communication via EtherCAT.

The Beckhoff ES4124 EtherCAT Terminal operates with a 24 V DC supply voltage that ensures stable power delivery for precision applications. The terminal features four independent analog output channels. The outputs are electrically isolated from the EtherCAT communication system. Each channel provides a current output of 4 to 20 mA and supports a load of less than 350 ohms. It is short circuit proof and ensures reliable operation under varying conditions. The terminal is integrated with distributed clocks that enables precise synchronization with a precision of less than 1 µs. It supports a maximum output update rate of 4 ksps (4000 samples per second) that enables rapid signal changes required for precise time critical control applications. The terminal outputs voltages in the ± 10 V range and maintains consistent output accuracy through internal diagnostics and compensation mechanisms. The 16 bit resolution allows for accurate signal generation with minimal deviation. The output error is specified as less than 0.1 % relative to the end value.

The ES4124 EtherCAT Terminal includes a parameterizable watchdog function and supports optional user synchronization for added system safety and timing control. Power is supplied to the output stages via 24 V DC through power contacts. Ground potential for all channels is common with the 24 V supply. The signal status of each channel is visually indicated by light emitting diodes on the terminal. The terminal provides consistent performance across industrial environments.
