EL2212 | 2-channel digital output terminal 24 V DC with overexcitation

The EL2212 digital output terminal connects the binary control signals from the automation unit on to the actuators at the process level with electrical isolation. It is suitable for actuators, e.g. valves, with particularly fast switching requirements. It operates with overexcitation and initially applies a higher voltage of 48 V to the actuator with the aid of the booster stage. In conjunction with a higher current, which the terminal can supply for a short time, valves can switch significantly more quickly. In hold mode the terminal reduces the current accordingly. The EtherCAT Terminal supports distributed clocks, i.e. the output data can be monitored synchronously with other data from terminals with distributed clock support. The accuracy across the system is << 1 µs. The EL2212 contains two channels, the signal state of which is indicated via LEDs.
