Beckhoff ED4072 | EtherCAT Terminal, 2-channel analog output, multi-function

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 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 ED4072 terminal has 24 V/0 V DC contacts for the supply of the

actuators.

Special features:

• combined output terminal: 10 V/20 mA

• output range ±107%

• 2 ksps conversion rate per channel for standard automation tasks

• Vhigh output power at 20 mA: load up to 750 Ω

• output diagnostics: short circuit for voltage output, wire break for

current output

The ED series EtherCAT Terminals have push-in connection technology

which makes wiring easy and tool-free.
