Product Description

Beckhoff EtherCAT terminal EL4031-0000 is advanced EtherCAT terminal fit for use in high end industrial automation. This terminal is part of the EL EtherCAT Terminal Series and provides conversion times of roughly 100 µs so that it is perfect for real-time control applications that need short response times. The EL4031-0000 is designed with a comprehensive temperature range of operation of -25°C to 60°C, thus its capability to perform well even in undesirable climate conditions. With a packaging and dimensions of about 55 grams, the EL4031-0000 is small and portable, about the size of a coin and hence can easily be installed in different settings without consuming much space. This means it has 12-bit resolution for the conversion of signals and data which a suitable for data acquisition and control. The signal voltage is between -10 V and +10 V, which allows the terminal to connect to a vast number of sensors and devices using its great flexibility.

Another important characteristic of the EL4031-0000 is the distributed clock accuracy of less than 1 µs that can significantly improve the synchronization with other related devices, as it is required for effective operation of most modern complex automated systems. Furthermore, the terminal has an output error of less than 0.1 % to the end value to ensure that the data being transmitted is accurate and reliable which is important in industrial applications. Altogether, one can mention high conversion frequency, wide operational range, small dimensions, and high accuracy of the Beckhoff EL4031-0000 EtherCAT terminal that would explained why engineers and integrators who are in search of high-performance automation solutions may choose this terminal.
