Beckhoff EL4132 Analog Output Terminal Module

The Beckhoff EL4132 is a two-channel EtherCAT analog output terminal that delivers true -10 V to +10 V voltage outputs with 16-bit resolution. In a compact housing, it provides two independent outputs that populate a 2 × 16-bit process data image, enabling precise control of analog actuators such as valves or positioners in Beckhoff EtherCAT networks. The outputs are voltage-type with a single-ended reference, each driving loads greater than 5 kΩ, making it suitable for high-impedance loads. Power for the outputs and electronics is supplied via the E-bus, simplifying fieldbus power arrangements, while simultaneous sampling ensures both channels update within the same cycle. Configuration requires no separate addressing or setup in the device, aligning with the EL41xx series’ plug-and-play integration. Weighing approximately 55 g, the EL4132 is designed for compact installations in automation cabinets where fast, precise -10 to +10 V control is needed.
