The Beckhoff EL2262 is a state-of-the-art EtherCAT Terminal featuring two channels for digital output, designed to facilitate the connection of binary control signals to the process level with electrical isolation. This terminal stands out for its oversampling capability, allowing the outputs to be controlled at an adjustable integer multiple of the bus cycle time, enhancing the temporal resolution of output signals significantly beyond the standard bus cycle time.
With a maximum output rate of 1 Msample/s, the EL2262 is capable of delivering a high pulse sequence synchronised precisely with the system time base, thanks to the distributed clocks feature. This ensures that output patterns are not only faster but also perfectly timed with other devices in the EtherCAT network.
The terminal operates with a rated load voltage of 24 V DC, accommodating a range of load types including ohmic, inductive, and lamp loads. The 4-wire connection technology ensures a reliable and secure connection, making the EL2262 an ideal choice for various industrial applications that require high-speed, precise control of output signals.
