The EL2904 safety EtherCAT Terminal is a digital output terminal with four channels. It switches 24 V DC actuators with up to 2 A total current. If the EtherCAT Terminal detects a fault, it switches off automatically (fail stop). The EL2904 meets the requirements of IEC 61508, SIL 3, and EN 954, Cat. 4.
