Product Description

The EL2809-0015 digital output terminal features an innovative design that allows for increased packing density with 16 connection points housed within a compact 12 mm terminal block. This efficient arrangement maximizes the use of limited space in control cabinets or enclosures, enabling the integration of numerous connections without the need for larger terminal blocks. This Beckhoff terminal facilitates the connection of different load types, including ohmic, inductive, and lamp loads. Its 16 digital outputs are designed to facilitate the seamless control of various actuators in automation applications. Utilizing a 1-wire connection technology, the terminal enables efficient wiring with a compact footprint, streamlining the installation process. The 1-wire configuration is particularly beneficial when connecting multi-channel actuators, reducing the amount of space required for cabling.

Each channel on the EL2809-0015 can handle a maximum output current of 0.35 A, providing adequate power for various actuators while ensuring efficient operation. The total output current for all channels combined should not exceed 4.5 A, making it essential to manage load distribution effectively to maintain the reliability and functionality of the system. The terminal features typical switching times of 10 µs for TON and 25 µs for TOFF, enabling rapid response for controlling actuators. The terminal consumes about 140 mA from the E-bus, while the current consumption for power contacts is approximately 35 mA plus the load.

The EL2809-0015 operates within a permissible ambient temperature range of -25°C to +55°C, making it suitable for various environments, from cold storage facilities to warmer industrial settings. For storage, it can withstand temperatures as low as -40°C and up to +85°C, allowing for flexibility in handling and transporting the device without compromising its integrity.
