Compliant with NAMUR (IEC 60947-5-6) specifications, this terminal provides intrinsically safe (Ex i) signal acquisition for proximity sensors and mechanical contacts located in explosive atmospheres. By facilitating the direct connection of field devices from Zone 0, 1, or 2, the ELX1052 eliminates the need for expensive external safety barriers. It is a critical component for process automation in chemical refineries, oil and gas extraction, and pharmaceutical manufacturing, where it ensures reliable signal processing while maintaining rigorous safety standards and reducing total system cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Configuration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ELX1052 operates as an EtherCAT terminal designed for 2-wire NAMUR sensors. It features sophisticated fault detection capabilities, including integrated monitoring for cable breaks (current below 200 µA) and short circuits (current above 6.3 mA). The module delivers an open circuit voltage of 8.2 VDC and utilizes a switching hysteresis of 200 µA to ensure precise state detection. To support its intrinsically safe operation, the electronics are powered via the 24 VDC power contacts, typically requiring the ELX9560 power supply for proper functionality. Its compact 12 mm wide housing allows for efficient high-density mounting on 35 mm DIN rails, maintaining full isolation and safety integrity even in crowded control cabinets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"firstRow\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeature\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eModel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eELX1052\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrand\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBECKHOFF\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChannels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2 x Digital Input (NAMUR)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecification\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIEC 60947-5-6\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFault Detection\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCable break (I ≤ 200 µA), Short circuit (I ≥ 6.3 mA)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eE-bus Consumption\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTyp 50 mA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOperating Temp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-25 to 60 deg C\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e12 mm x 100 mm x 68 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eApprox 55 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eApprovals\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eATEX, IECEx, cFMus, CCC\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProtection Class\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIP20\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs an external barrier required for this terminal in hazardous areas?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the ELX1052 features integrated intrinsically safe (Ex i) circuitry, which allows for the direct connection of field devices located in hazardous zones without external barriers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the module distinguish between a sensor state and a wiring fault?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe terminal monitors the input current; valid signal states are clearly defined (≤ 1.2 mA for \"0\", ≥ 2.1 mA for \"1\").
