Beckhoff EL1008-0000 Digital Input EtherCAT Terminal

Beckhoff EL1008-0000 EtherCAT Terminal is an eight-channel digital input module for 24 V DC signals in EtherCAT networks. Each of its eight channels accepts standard 24 V DC digital inputs and uses a 3 ms input filter to deliver deterministic state changes, suitable for fast sensor and switch monitoring in automated systems. The device specifies nominal 24 V DC input range (-15%/+20%), typical input current around 3 mA per channel, with the 0 signal voltage defined as -3 to +5 V and the 1 signal voltage defined as 15 to 30 V (EN 61131-2, type 3). The EL1008-0000 is IP20-protected and is designed to be mounted as part of Beckhoff’s EL EtherCAT Terminal family, enabling scalable I/O configurations across an EtherCAT network using standard Beckhoff bus couplers. Typical uses include reading digital signals from sensors, pushbuttons, and limit switches in industrial cabinets and machines.
