BECKHOFF EL1809 is a 16-channel digital input EtherCAT terminal designed for 24 V DC signal acquisition with 3 ms input filtering. It offers compact, high-density input capability for distributed automation systems.
þ BECKHOFF EL1809 Digital Input Terminal
The EL1809 acquires binary 24 V DC control signals from the field and transmits them in an electrically isolated form to the higher-level controller via EtherCAT. It is ideal for space-constrained control cabinets and supports single-wire connection for efficient wiring.
