Information About EL1918-2200
The EL1918-2200 is part of Beckhoff’s TwinSAFE family, a series of safety-oriented I/O terminals built for distributed safety control systems. Its construction incorporates eight independent fail-safe digital inputs in a compact IP20 housing suitable for cabinet installation. The terminal integrates seamlessly with TwinSAFE logic controllers and EtherCAT networks through the Safety over EtherCAT protocol. Typical applications include machine safety, emergency stop circuits, guard monitoring, and other SIL 3 / PL e safety functions requiring safe, decentralized input collection.
Key Features:
- TwinSAFE integration: Supports full compatibility with Beckhoff TwinSAFE safety controllers.
- Eight fail-safe inputs: Provides safe monitoring of digital signals for SIL 3 / PL e applications.
- Flexible wiring: 1-/2-wire connection technology allows simple and adaptable sensor interfacing.
- Safety over EtherCAT: Communicates via FSoE for deterministic and certified safe data exchange.
- IP20 compact housing: Space-efficient terminal design for machine control cabinets.
- Certified safety compliance: Meets EN ISO 13849-1:2015 Cat.4 PL e and EN 61508 SIL 3 requirements.
- Low power consumption: Typical 165 mA E-bus current draw ensures efficient operation.
- Wide application use: Suitable for decentralized machine safety architectures.
The EL1918-2200 delivers the reliability and precision required for modern safety-critical EtherCAT automation systems.
