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

The EL2502-0010 output terminal modulates the pulse width of a binary signal, and outputs it electrically isolated from the E-bus. The mark/space ratio is prescribed by a 16 bit value from the automation unit. 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 driven in time with the outputs, and show the duty factor by their brightness.
The outputs are switched on or off, exactly synchronized with the transferred timestamp. This technology enables output switching times to be specified precisely across the system. The distributed clocks are used for reference.
