Beckhoff ELX2008 | EtherCAT Terminal, 8-channel digital output, 24 V DC, 30 mA, Ex i

The ELX2008 digital output terminal enables the direct connection

of intrinsically safe actuators located in hazardous areas classified

zone 0/20 or 1/21. The ELX2008 supplies an output voltage of 24

V DC and a maximum output current of 30 mA per channel. 

The signal state of each channel is indicated by a light emitting diode.

EtherCAT terminals of the ELX series must always be operated in

conjunction with the ELX9560 power supply terminal. This terminal

generates an electrically isolated output voltage (24 V EX) from the

input voltage (24 V DC) for supplying the subsequent ELX terminals.

If a new power supply is required, the combination of an ELX9410

and an ELX9560 can be used so that further ELX terminals can be

added.

The ELX terminal segment must be terminated with one ELX9012.

two ELX9410 or one EK1110. The use of two ELX9410 allows the

use of EL terminals behind ELX terminals. With the EK1110. the

terminal segment can be continued via an EtherCAT cable, 

for example to implement cable redundancy.
