Beckhoff ED4074 | EtherCAT Terminal, 4-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.

Special features:

• combined output terminal: 10 V/20 mA

• output range ±107%

• 2 ksps conversion rate per channel for standard automation tasks

• high output power at 20 mA: load up to 500 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.
