EL8601-8411: Up to twelve signal interfaces and nine signal types

Beckhoff’s EL8601-8411 EtherCAT Terminal offers maximum flexibility in a compact design as a 12-channel multi-interface which is only 12 mm wide. It is therefore particularly suitable for applications where only a few complex signals are required as well as in special-purpose machine building, where its highly flexible signal configuration enables minimized storage.

The EL8601-8411 EtherCAT Terminal offers a combination of up to twelve signal interfaces (8 x DI, 2 x DO, 1 x AI, 1 x AO) and up to nine different signal types in an installation space of just 12 mm. In addition to the digital inputs and outputs, one analog input and output each can be configured as a current or voltage signal. The digital inputs with configurable filter times can also be used for 24 V HTL encoders with A and B track including latch and gate function, or as an up/down counter with a counting frequency of up to 100 kHz. Two of the digital outputs can be used as a PWM signal that can be modulated in both pulse width and frequency in the range of 20 Hz to 25 kHz.

The EP8601-0022 EtherCAT Box offers a combination of different inputs and outputs and nine different signal types. In addition to the digital inputs and outputs, there is also one analog input and one analog output which are configurable as a current or voltage signal with 12-bit resolution. The digital inputs with configurable filter times can also be used for 24 V HTL encoders with A, B track incl. latch and gate function or as an up/down counter with a counting frequency of up to 100 kHz. Two of the digital outputs can be used as a PWM signal that can be modulated in both pulse width and frequency in the range of 20 Hz to 25 kHz.
