EL4024 | Beckhoff EtherCAT Terminal, 4-Channel Analog Output, Current, 4…20 mA, 12 Bit

Description 

The EL4024 analog output terminal produces signals ranging from 4 to 20 mA. It operates with a 12-bit resolution and features electrical isolation for power supplied at the process level. The output channels share a common ground potential with the 24 V DC supply used by the EtherCAT Terminal. Each of the four channels of the EL4024 is powered by the 24 V supply.

Technical Specifications 

Information About EL4024

The EL4024 from Beckhoff is an EtherCAT Terminal designed for analog output applications, featuring four channels each capable of generating a current signal ranging from 4 to 20 mA. Powered by a 24 V DC supply through its power contacts, it offers precise resolution with 12-bit conversion, ensuring accurate signal representation. The terminal supports distributed clocks with high precision (< 1 µs), facilitating synchronized operation in distributed control systems.

Key specifications include short-circuit proof outputs capable of driving loads up to 350 Ω, and electrical isolation rated at 500 V (E-bus/signal voltage), enhancing safety and reliability in industrial environments. It achieves a low output error of less than 0.1% relative to the end value, maintaining consistency in signal accuracy.

Operational features include a conversion time of approximately 250 µs and minimal current consumption (typ. 50 mA for power contacts and 140 mA for E-bus). The EL4024 supports pluggable wiring for easy installation across all ESxxxx terminals, and offers optional watchdog functionality for user-specific output values with ramp capability. It operates within a wide temperature range from -25°C to +60°C (storage: -40°C to +85°C) and meets IP20 protection rating standards for versatile deployment in various industrial settings.

Certified with CE, UL, ATEX, and IECEx markings, the EL4024 ensures compliance with international safety and operational standards, making it suitable for integration into industrial automation systems worldwide.
