Beckhoff EL4024 EtherCAT Terminal 4‑Channel Analog Output, 4–20 mA, 12‑bit, 12×100×68 mm

Overview

The Beckhoff EL4024 is a 4‑channel analog output EtherCAT Terminal that sources 4–20 mA current signals with 12‑bit resolution. Outputs are powered from the 24 V power contacts and are electrically isolated from the E‑bus. Distributed Clocks are supported for precise synchronization, and status LEDs indicate each channel state.

Key Features

• 4 analog outputs, 4–20 mA (short‑circuit proof)
• 12‑bit resolution; ~250 μs conversion time
• Distributed Clocks support (precision ≪ 1 μs)
• Load capability < 350 Ω
• Optional watchdog with user‑specific output value and ramp; user synchronization
• 500 V isolation between E‑bus and signal voltage

Applications

• Process control and actuator drive requiring 4–20 mA outputs
• Synchronized analog output generation in EtherCAT systems
