The module provides eight independent digital inputs, each with a status LED to indicate the current state, and includes a 10 µs input filter to improve noise immunity for fast-switching signals. As part of Beckhoff's EL10xx digital input family, the EL1018 is designed for DIN-rail mounting on a 35 mm rail (EN 60715) and is intended for easy stacking with other EL terminals for scalable I\/O configurations. It is typically used in factory automation applications where multiple 24 VDC signals from sensors, switches, or safety interlocks must be captured quickly and reliably and fed into a Beckhoff EtherCAT master controller. The EL1018 communicates over EtherCAT, enabling low-latency, deterministic data exchange with the controller and other I\/O modules, while maintaining electrical separation between the field signals and the bus for improved safety and noise rejection. This eight-channel digital input terminal is a compact, plug-and-play solution that fits seamlessly into Beckhoff automation architectures, allowing straightforward expansion of digital inputs in multi-EL10xx setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Beckhoff","offers":[{"title":"Used Surplus - Excellent Condition","offer_id":51676809855278,"sku":null,"price":290.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_991ed785-ac47-42da-ae76-4415ad81c96d.jpg?v=1769553738","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/beckhoff-el1018-8-channel-digital-input-terminal","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
