Product Description

EL1018 ETHERCAT TERMINAL 8-CHANNEL DIGITAL INPUT 24 VDC FILTER 10 US 1-WIRE SYSTEM -25 TO +60 DEGREES C IP20 The Beckhoff EL1018 is an EtherCAT terminal module designed to handle digital input signals in an automation system. It features 8 channels for the acquisition of 24V DC digital signals from various field devices such as sensors, switches, and other binary input sources. Each channel operates independently and supports positive switching (PNP). The module is integrated into the EtherCAT network, enabling real-time data communication with minimal latency. Its compact design allows for efficient use of space within control cabinets, making it ideal for applications in machine control, process automation, and industrial monitoring.
