Beckhoff ED4078 | EtherCAT Terminal, 8-channel analog output, multi-function

The ED4074 analog output terminal is a universal 10 V/20 mA output module

in the 16-bit class for simple control tasks. Standard signals in the -10/0...

+10 V or -20/0/+4...+20 mA ranges can be generated per channel.

CoE can be used to set each channel to U or I mode in TwinCAT or from the

controller.

The voltage and current outputs are single-ended, meaning that they each

refer to the 0 V DC power contact. All outputs are digitized with a 16-bit

resolution and transmitted to the higher-level automation system under

electrical isolation. With a technical output range of ±107% of the nominal

range, unconventional setpoints, such as for error reporting purposes, can

also be output.

The current outputs can have high load resistances and report overload,

wire break, or – in the case of voltage outputs – a short circuit.

The ED4074 terminal has 24 V/0 V DC contacts for the supply of the

actuators.

The ED4072 analog output terminal is a universal 10 V/20 mA output

module in the 16-bit class for simple control tasks. Standard signals

in the -10/0...+10 V or -20/0/+4...+20 mA ranges can be generated

per channel. CoE can be used to set each channel to U or I mode in

TwinCAT or from the controller.

The EM3701 analog input terminal measures the differential pressure between

two hose connections in a measuring range of ±100 mbar. The pressure value

is directly available to the controller as a 16-bit value, and errors such as out-

of-range values are also displayed. The compact design and simple connection

system support space-saving and quick installation with no need for additional

measuring devices.

The terminal can be used to measure pressure or also to replace a pressure

switch. It is not suitable for measuring aggressive gases. The pressure value

in the controller enables the switching threshold to be stored as a parameter

for a logical operation.

Manually setting the pressure switch in the application is therefore no longer

required.

The ELX3314 analog input terminals allows the direct connection of thermocouples

located in hazardous areas classified zone 0/20 or 1/21.

The circuitry of the ELX3314 can operate sensors with 2-wire technology.

Linearization is possible over the entire freely selectable temperature range.

The error LEDs indicate a broken wire. Compensation for the cold junction is

achieved through internal temperature measurement. Millivolt measurement is also

possible with ELX3314.
