Product Description

Beckhoff EtherCAT terminal EL2521-0024 is a highly effective terminal requiring only one pulse train output and is used in industries that need relative motor control, frequency modulation, and position control. This unit is included in the Beckhoff’s EL EtherCAT Terminal Series and is capable of communicating through EtherCAT, the prominent interaction method in automation networks that provides real-time data transfer. XFC (eXtreme Fast Control) technology is one of the major features of the modules, allowing distributed clocks, which is important for applications where timing is a critical factor. The EL2521-0024 can function with a nominal voltage of 24 V DC, which makes them suitable for use mostly in industries. On the terminal side, pulse train output, for instance when controlling a motor at high speed or treating pulses in a production line will yield reliable results. Further, the terminal has a maximum of 15 bits for a resolution, which is paramount when it comes to control and feedback during operations.

Structurally, this model is relatively small and lightweight; its weight is only 50 grams, but this does not affect its reliability. It is CE and UL certified and that means that this tablet meets all the high standards of safety and quality among the same products. These certifications also help guarantee that the terminal can be used in virtually any industrial automation applications.

By using XFC Technology the EL2521-0024 terminal improves the performance and decreases latency in signal processing, which is most advantageous in systems that require distributed clocks. When coupled with its pulse train output and 15-bit resolution, this device is ideal for applications requiring high accuracy in operations such as robotics, conveyor systems and the like.
