Introduction

EtherCAT Terminals, 16-channel digital output, 24 V_DC, 0.5 A

The EL2809 digital output terminal establishes an electrically isolated connection between the binary control signals of the automation device and the actuators at process level. The EL2809 is protected against polarity reversal and processes load currents with outputs protected against overload and short-circuit. The EtherCAT Terminal contains 16 channels whose signal states are indicated by LEDs. The power contacts are looped through.

The outputs of the EL2809 are fed via the 24 V power contact and the outputs of the EL2889 via the 0 V power contact. Single-wire conductors can be connected without tools using the direct plug-in technique.

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