Beckhoff EL4024 EtherCAT Digital Input Terminal

Beckhoff EL4024 EtherCAT Terminal is a four-channel analog output module for the EtherCAT fieldbus, delivering four independent 4–20 mA current outputs with 12‑bit resolution per channel. Each channel provides precise current output suitable for driving analog actuators or devices that interpret 4–20 mA control signals in industrial processes, with the four outputs sharing a common 0 V DC reference for the return path. As part of Beckhoff’s EL40xx family, the EL4024 integrates into Beckhoff’s EtherCAT I/O system and operates as an EtherCAT slave within the same process-data space as other terminals, enabling coordinated, multi-channel control across the network. This configuration is ideal for applications that require simultaneous, separate control of multiple current‑loop devices, such as valves, actuators, or other 4–20 mA loads, using a compact, fieldbus‑integrated solution.
