The Beckhoff EL1018 is a high-performance Digital Input Terminal Module designed to streamline your industrial automation processes. This module is equipped with 8 inputs, each capable of acquiring binary control signals from the process level and transmitting them in an electrically isolated form to the higher-level automation unit.
The EL1018 operates at a nominal voltage of 24 V DC, with a typical input current of 3 mA. It features a 10 µs input filter, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring fast signal processing. The state of the EtherCAT Terminals is conveniently indicated via an LED, providing clear, real-time status updates.
This module utilises 1-wire connection technology and conforms to EN 61131-2, type 1/3 specifications. It offers electrical isolation of 500 V between the E-bus and field potential, ensuring safe and reliable operation.
The Beckhoff EL1018 is not only robust and reliable but also compact and lightweight, weighing approximately 55 g. It operates efficiently within a temperature range of 0 to +55 °C and can be stored within -25 to +85 °C.
Designed for seamless integration with all ESxxxx terminals, the EL1018 is a versatile addition to your automation system, enhancing efficiency and productivity. Please note that no address or configuration setting is required for this module, simplifying installation and setup.
The Beckhoff EL1018 Digital Input Terminal Module is CE, UL, and Ex approved, testifying to its quality and reliability.
