Extended range of EtherCAT multi-functional terminals

Analog output terminals with 16-bit resolution and 10 ksps sampling rate

The range of high-performance EtherCAT multi-functional terminals from Beckhoff is supplemented by the EL4172 and EL4174 output terminals. In contrast to the EL4072 and EL4074, the new 2- and 4-channel terminals operate with a 10 ksps sampling rate while retaining the 16-bit resolution.

The two EL417x analog output terminals output all known standard signals in the range of ±10 V and ±20 mA, and the EL307x inputs can process these. All outputs can be parameterized individually and are single-ended to reduce cabling work. The current outputs can have high load resistances and detect operating faults such as overload, wire breakage, or short circuiting via a diagnostic feature. The EtherCAT Terminals have an extended output range of ±107%, which can be used to pass on atypical setpoints, e.g. for transmitting error states.

The new analog EL3x7x and EL4x7x family of EtherCAT multi-functional terminals offers a reliable and versatile solution for a wide range of applications – from simple to highly demanding. With their high performance, compact design, and precise 16-bit resolution, they set new standards in the field of analog IP20 I/Os.
