Introduction
2-channel Triac output terminals
The EL2712 output terminal uses a power switch to control mains voltage from 12 V to 230 V AC. The switching element is a Triac, which is connected to the power contact potential. As a semiconductor switch, it is not subject to wear. The steady load capacity of a digital output is 0.5 A (see Technical data). The EtherCAT Terminal has two independent outputs.
With the EL2722 output terminal, the continuous load of a digital output is 1 A. This EtherCAT Terminal has two mutually locked outputs.
The EtherCAT Terminals indicate their signal status by means of LEDs.
