A new generation of Beckhoff analog I/Os

With seven EtherCAT input/output terminals in the compact high-density housing, Beckhoff is significantly enhancing the performance of the previous IP20 I/Os in this area. This video provides an overview of the features and the wide range of applications.

EL3x7x, EL4x7x | Analog multi-I/Os

EL3x7x, EL4x7x | Analog multi-I/Os

Multi-functional and powerful with 16 bits and up to 8 channels for all standard signals between ±10 V and ±20 mA.

EL3072 | EtherCAT Terminal, 2-channel analog input, multi-function, ±10 V, ±20 mA, 16 bit, single-ended, 2 ksps

EL3072 | EtherCAT Terminal, 2-channel analog input, multi-function, ±10 V, ±20 mA, 16 bit, single-ended, 2 ksps

The EL3072, EL3074, and EL3078 analog input terminals are universal 10 V/20 mA input modules in the 16-bit class for simple control tasks. Input signals in the -10/0...+10 V or -20/0/+4...+20 mA ranges can be processed per channel. Voltage and current signals are connected to different terminal points. CoE can be used to set each channel to U or I mode in TwinCAT or from the controller.

EL4374 | EtherCAT Terminal, 2-channel analog input + 2-channel analog output, multi-function, ±10 V, ±20 mA, 16 bit, 2 ksps

EL4374 | EtherCAT Terminal, 2-channel analog input + 2-channel analog output, multi-function, ±10 V, ±20 mA, 16 bit, 2 ksps

The EL4374 analog input terminal combines two analog inputs and two analog outputs that can be individually parameterized by the controller/TwinCAT via CoE for current or voltage operation. Depending on the setting, the channels process signals with 2 ksps in the range of -10/0 to +10 V or -20/0/+4 to +20 mA.

EL4074 | EtherCAT Terminal, 4-channel analog output, multi-function, ±10 V, ±20 mA, 16 bit, 2 ksps

EL4074 | EtherCAT Terminal, 4-channel analog output, multi-function, ±10 V, ±20 mA, 16 bit, 2 ksps

The EL4072, EL4074, and EL4078 analog output terminals output 10 V/20 mA standard signals with 16-bit resolution and up to 2000 values per second. Each channel can be parameterized individually via the controller/TwinCAT. All common standard signals in the range of ±10 V and ±20 mA can be output per channel – for example, 0…10 V and 4…20 mA. Each channel signals a short circuit for voltage output or a wire break for current output. The current outputs can also drive high burden resistors.

EL4172 | EtherCAT Terminal, 2-channel analog output, multi-function, ±10 V, ±20 mA, 16 bit, differential, 10 ksps, electrically isolated

The EL4172 analog output terminal outputs 10 V/20 mA standard signals with 16-bit resolution and up to 10,000 values per second – even with distributed clocks if necessary. Each channel can be parameterized individually using the control/TwinCAT and supports all common standard signals in the ±10 V and ±20 mA range, such as 4...20 mA. The current outputs can drive high load resistances and are equipped with 24 V/0 V contacts to supply actuators. With an extended output range of ±107%, unconventional setpoints can also be output – for error reporting purposes, as an example.
