Product Description

The EL1008-0000 is a Beckhoff EtherCAT terminal designed for connecting up to eight digital inputs in automation systems. This compact device facilitates the integration of various sensors and switches, allowing for efficient data acquisition and control in industrial applications. It features eight digital inputs, allowing for versatile data collection and monitoring in applications that require the integration of various input devices. The terminal features a 24 V DC nominal voltage and offers a -15% to +20% tolerance. It has a “0” signal voltage range of -3 to +5 V and a “1” signal voltage range of 11 to 30 V. This voltage capacity offers compatibility with a wide variety of digital input devices.

The terminal typically requires an input current of 3 mA, ensuring a low current consumption that contributes to the terminal's compatibility with various input devices. It comes with an input filter with a typical response time of 3.0 ms that helps to stabilize signal processing by reducing the effects of noise. The terminal typically consumes 2 mA of current from the power contacts, ensuring efficient power management in automation systems. For the E-bus, it has a typical current consumption of 90 mA. The terminal offers a 500 V isolation between the E-bus and field potential, safeguarding against spikes in voltage.

The EL1008-0000 carries multiple approvals and markings, including CE, UL, ATEX, IECEx, DNV GL, and cFMus. These certifications ensure compliance with international safety and performance regulations. It is optimized for use in harsh environments with a robust but slim design that weighs 55 g and measures 12 mm x 100 mm x 68 mm. This small form factor delivers seamless integration with minimal installation requirements.
