Beckhoff EL4024 4-Channel Analog Output Terminal

Beckhoff EL4024 is a four-channel EtherCAT analog output terminal that provides four independent 4–20 mA current outputs with 12‑bit resolution per channel. As part of Beckhoff's EtherCAT I/O system, the EL4024 is designed to drive current-loop actuators and sensors from a PLC or industrial controller, enabling precise control of four devices from a single module. Each channel outputs a 4–20 mA signal, and the 12‑bit DAC resolution translates to 4096 discrete steps within the 4–20 mA range, supporting fine adjustment for valves, proportional actuators, and process instrumentation. The module is intended for automation environments requiring reliable current-output control with seamless EtherCAT communication. Typical applications include process control loops, valve actuation, and other analog control tasks that benefit from multiple current outputs in a compact four-channel terminal.
