EL4024

The Beckhoff EL4024 is a high-precision analogue output terminal designed to meet the sophisticated demands of modern industrial automation systems. This terminal is engineered to deliver reliable performance with its 24 V DC power supply and typical current consumption of 15 mA. It features four output channels, each capable of providing a signal voltage range of 0 to 10 V, suitable for driving a wide array of control devices.

With a robust build, the EL4024 ensures electrical isolation of 500 V between the E-bus and field voltage, safeguarding your system against potential electrical interference. The terminal's outputs are designed to be short-circuit proof, ensuring a high level of operational safety and resilience in demanding industrial environments.

The EL4024 boasts a measuring error of less than ±0.1% at temperatures ranging from 0 °C to +55 °C, relative to the full scale value, which is a testament to its accuracy and precision. For applications operating within an extended temperature range, the measuring error remains impressively low at less than ±0.2%.

This terminal is equipped with a 12-bit resolution, ensuring fine granularity in output signal control, and it supports Distributed Clocks for precise synchronisation across the EtherCAT network. The EL4024's quick conversion times, ranging from approximately 100 µs to 400 µs depending on the number of channels used, enable it to respond swiftly to control commands, making it an ideal choice for time-sensitive applications.

Designed for versatility, the EL4024 can be mounted on a standard 35 mm mounting rail in accordance with EN 60715, and it can operate within a wide ambient temperature range of -25 °C to +60 °C. The terminal's compact dimensions and IP20 protection class make it suitable for a variety of installation scenarios, while its variable installation position offers additional flexibility.

The EL4024 is configured via the TwinCAT System Manager, which simplifies setup and integration into existing systems. Its compatibility with the EtherCAT standard ensures seamless communication within a diverse range of industrial networks.
