Product Description

A small and effective digital input terminal for industrial automation applications, the EL1809 is produced by Beckhoff. The EL EtherCAT Terminal series uses the fast EtherCAT communication protocol to transmit data in real-time inside automation systems. In order to transfer binary control signals to a higher-level automation device, this model is designed to receive them from the field. The "1-wire" connection technique of the EL1809 is one of its noteworthy characteristics. This method saves space and installation time by simplifying wiring and lowering the number of wires needed for each input. Complex automation systems with networked sensors and actuators benefit greatly from this.

The terminal is compatible with a wide range of industrial sensors and equipment thanks to its 16 distinct input channels, each of which complies with EN 61131-2, type ⅓ requirements. With a nominal voltage range of 24 V DC and a tolerance of -15% to +20%, these inputs provide versatility in a number of industrial settings. With an average time constant of 3.0 ms, the EL1809 integrates an input filter to provide dependable signal capture. Signal noise and transient voltages, which are frequent in industrial environments, are efficiently reduced by this filter.

The filter suppresses these undesirable signals, preventing inaccurate readings and ensuring reliable data gathering. This is essential for the automation system to remain stable and dependable. With an E-bus current usage of around 100 mA and an average input current of 3 mA, the EL1809 is designed to be efficient. Because of its small size and lightweight (around 65 grams), it may be used in applications with limited space. Furthermore, the terminal can function reliably in a variety of industrial settings due to its broad temperature range of operation, which spans from -25°C to +60°C. Wake Industrial gives consumers extra security and peace of mind by offering a one-year guarantee on this product.
