Introduction

EtherCAT Terminal, 8-channel digital output, 24 V_DC, 0.5 A, 2-wire connection

The EL2808 digital output terminal establishes an electrically isolated connection between the binary control signals of the automation device and the actuators at process level. The EL2808 is protected against polarity reversal and processes load currents with outputs protected against overload and short-circuit. The EtherCAT Terminal contains eight channels, consisting of a signal output and 0 V, whose signal states are indicated by LEDs. The power contacts are looped through.

The outputs of the EL2808 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 Terminals (High Density) with increased packing density are equipped with 16 connection points in the housing of a 12-mm terminal block.
