EtherCAT Terminal, 8-channel analog output, multi-function, ±10 V, ±20 mA, 16 bit, single-ended, 2 ksps, push-in

The ED4078 analog output terminal is a universal 10 V/20 mA output module in the 16-bit class for simple control tasks.
Standard signals in the range -10/0 … +10 V or -20/0/+4 … +20 mA can be generated per channel.
Each channel can be set to U or I operation in TwinCAT or by the controller via CoE.

The voltage and current outputs are single-ended, i.e. they each refer to the 0 V DC power contact.
All outputs are digitized with a 16-bit resolution and transmitted to the higher-level automation system under electrical isolation.
With a technical output range of ±107 % of the nominal range, unconventional setpoints, such as for error reporting purposes, can also be output.
The current outputs can have high load resistances and report overload, wire break, or – in the case of voltage outputs – a short circuit.

Special features:

• Combined output terminal: 10 V/20 mA
• Output range ±107 %
• 2 ksps conversion rate per channel for standard automation tasks
• High output power at 20 mA: load up to 300 Ω
• Output diagnostics: short circuit at voltage output, wire break at current output

The EtherCAT-Terminals of the ED series feature push-in connection technology, which enables simple wiring without the need for tools.
