Fig.4: EL2502‑0010

2-channel pulse width output terminal, 24 V_DC, with timestamp

The EL2502-0010 output terminal modulates a binary signal in the pulse width and outputs it electrically isolated from the E-bus. The mark/space ratio is prescribed by a 16 bit value from the automation device.

The output stage is protected against overload, short-circuit and overtemperature.

The EtherCAT Terminal has two channels that indicate their signal state via light emitting diodes. The LEDs are clocked with the outputs and indicate the duty cycle by their brightness.
The outputs are switched on or off with high precision to match the transmitted timestamp. This technology enables output switching times to be specified precisely across the system. The distributed clocks are used for reference.
