Information About EL4024
The EL4024 is a Beckhoff EtherCAT Terminal developed for analog current output tasks in distributed automation systems. It features four independently controlled channels with shared ground potential referenced to the 24 V DC EtherCAT supply. The terminal is designed with electrical isolation between the E-bus and signal voltage to improve system safety and noise immunity. It is typically integrated into EtherCAT-based control architectures where accurate, synchronized analog signal generation is required.
Key Features
- Four Analog Output Channels: Generates independent 4–20 mA signals for multiple field devices.
- 12-Bit Resolution: Provides precise and stable current output for accurate process control.
- Distributed Clock Support: Enables highly synchronized operation with sub-microsecond precision.
- Electrical Isolation: Rated at 500 V between E-bus and signal voltage for enhanced protection.
- Short-Circuit Proof Outputs: Supports loads up to 350 Ω for reliable field operation.
- Fast Conversion Time: Approximately 250 µs ensures responsive analog signal updates.
- Optional Watchdog Function: Allows user-defined output values with ramp behavior during faults.
The EL4024 delivers the reliability and precision required for synchronized analog current output in EtherCAT-based industrial automation systems.
