Product Description

The Beckhoff EL1862-0010 is a digital input module belonging to the EtherCAT Terminal Series, having 16 input channels of nominal voltage of 24 V DC (with a tolerance of -15% to +20%). It offers ground-switching circuitry and is well suited for harsh automated environments with improved shock and vibration tolerance.

All channels are type 3 compliant per EN 61131-2 standards and require nominal current of 3 mA. The module has a 3.0 ms filter, which is designed to protect noise and other disturbances from the signal. The use of EtherCAT for communication enables quick and effortless incorporation of the devices into various industrial control systems.

In terms of workings, the EL1862-0010 consumes 100 mA current via the power E-bus. It is easily installable and has IP20 protection rating which makes it ideal for application in clean places free of fertile materials like dust or moisture. With a temperature range of 0 °C to + 55 °C for operating and a storage range of -25° to +85° C, the system is quite stable under unfavorable conditions. This terminal is also UL approved and has explosion proof features, making it ideal for industrial use where safety and regulations are paramount. The 16-channel capacity is appropriate for applications that require multiple inputs within a small area, and the shock and vibration resistance enhance its dependability in unforgiving industrial environments. The design of this module is rugged and it is simple to install. As such, the EL1862-0010 is a great module for modern automation systems as it ensures reliable efficient input handling in a variety of environments due to its EtherCAT capabilities.
