EL401x - Introduction
One, two, four and eight-channel analog output terminals, 0..20 mA, 12 bit
The EL4011, EL4012, EL4014 and EL4018 Analog Output Terminals generate analog output signals in the range between 0 and 20 mA. The power is supplied to the process level with a resolution of 12 bits, and is electrically isolated. Ground potential for the output channels of an EtherCAT Terminal is common with the 0 VDC supply. The output stages are powered by the 24 V supply. The signal state of the EtherCAT Terminals is indicated by light emitting diodes.
The EL401x support distributed clocks, i.e. the input data can be monitored synchronously with other data that are also linked to distributed clock terminals. The accuracy across the system is < 100 ns.
