Introduction

EtherCAT Terminal, 16-channel digital output, 24 V_DC, 0.5 A, with extended diagnostics

The EL2819 digital output terminal establishes an electrically isolated connection between the binary control signals of the automation device and the actuators at process level. The EL2819 is protected against polarity reversal and processes load currents with outputs protected against overload and short-circuit. The integrated diagnostics can be evaluated in the controller and are indicated by the LEDs. Overtemperature and the lack of a voltage supply to the terminal are supplied as diagnostic information. In addition, each channel can signal a short circuit individually, among other things. The output behavior of the channels in the case of a bus error can be parameterized. The switching state and any error of the output are indicated by the LED. Maintenance of the application is simplified by the diagnostics. The power contacts are looped through.

The outputs of the EL2819 are supplied via the 24 V power contact. Single-wire conductors can be connected without tools using the direct plug-in technique.

The HD EtherCAT Terminal (High Density) with increased packing density is equipped with 16 connection points in the housing of a 12-mm terminal block. The terminal is particularly suitable for space-saving use in the control cabinets.
