Beckhoff Automation EL2024 EtherCAT Terminal Digital Output

Beckhoff EL2024 EtherCAT Terminal is a four-channel digital output module for EtherCAT networks that switches 24 V DC loads. Each of the four outputs is rated up to 2 A, enabling direct control of actuators such as relays, contactors, and solenoids from the EtherCAT bus. The module provides electronic short-circuit protection and per-channel diagnostics, with LED indicators for straightforward status monitoring. Powered from the 24 V field supply via the terminal’s power contacts, the EL2024 integrates with Beckhoff's EL series and communicates with TwinCAT-enabled controllers for fast, deterministic updates. This compact 4-channel terminal is designed for scalable, densely wired automation cabinets, making it well suited for applications like valve and actuator control, conveyors, and other discrete automation tasks that require reliable, parallel 24 V output signals.
