Description

The BECKHOFF EL2014 is a 4-channel digital output terminal designed for the EtherCAT I/O system. It outputs binary 24 V DC control signals to field-level actuators with a maximum output current of 0.5 A per channel. Built with an integrated electronic diagnostics system, this terminal ensures high system availability by continuously monitoring operating parameters and status.

Utilizing 2-wire connection technology, the BECKHOFF EL2014 allows direct connection of actuators without requiring additional external potential distribution. Actuators such as solenoid valves, contactors, and indicator lamps can be wired directly, optimizing control cabinet space and simplifying overall system architecture.

Features

  • Four digital output channels for 24 V DC field actuators
  • 2-wire connection technology for direct wiring of actuators
  • Short-circuit proof outputs with reverse voltage protection
  • Comprehensive channel-specific diagnostics including overtemperature, PowerFail, and short circuit
  • Diagnostic communication integrated directly into the process data (20-bit diagnostic image)
  • Local status and diagnostic LEDs for quick physical verification
  • 500 V electrical isolation between the internal E-bus and field potential

Applications

  • Control of ohmic, inductive, and lamp loads in automated machinery
  • Solenoid valve and contactor control with integrated fault monitoring
  • Distributed industrial control systems demanding localized diagnostic coverage
  • Hazardous area applications requiring certified intrinsically safe-adjacent equipment

Installation Guidelines

  1. Ensure that all electrical power supplies are completely de-energized and locked out before starting installation, wiring, or removal.
  2. Mount the terminal onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail conforming to EN 60715, ensuring the locking mechanism engages securely.
  3. Align and join adjacent terminals side-by-side using the double slot and key system to establish E-bus and power contact continuity.
  4. Strip field-side wires to the recommended 8 to 9 mm length. Actuate the spring clamp connection using a standard screwdriver to insert wire conductors.
  5. Check that all field connections are tight, ensuring proper assignment for 2-wire outputs before applying potential to the field-side power contacts.
  6. Initialize and configure the terminal within the TwinCAT System Manager to map diagnostic and output process variables.
